Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has had enough of First Lady Melania Trump’s claims that she had no idea the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein ran a child sex abuse ring, and he’s taking the gloves off.
Appearing Sunday on “Meet the Press,” Massie told host Kristen Welker that he’s sick of Trump’s handpicked acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, violating the law when it comes to releasing all of the Epstein files.
“Todd Blanche is violating the law. There’s still millions of files they haven’t released.”
“We know from talking to the victims’ lawyers that their own 302 forms haven’t been released. We know the files have been over-redacted. I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this,” Massie continued.
“I don’t think it’s possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and with the FBI director, Kash Patel, at the top, because they have effectively both perjured themselves by saying there’s nobody else in the files.”
Then came the reference to Melania.
“Even Melania doesn’t believe that. The first lady knows that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t act alone.”
“So, if we can’t get this attorney general and this FBI director to do the right thing, the next ones who take those seats are obligated by law to release the files that these individuals are not releasing now.”
In April, Mrs. Trump finally made public comments about the Epstein matter, NBC News reported at the time.
“The false smears about me from mean-spirited and politically motivated individuals and entities looking to cause damage to my good name to gain financially and climb politically must stop,” she whined.
The problem with Melania’s blanket denial, however, is that the photographic and other documentary evidence suggests she’s lying. She was a close friend of both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. And if she truly wants to set the record straight, she should agree to testify in an open hearing before the congressional committees investigating the Epstein matter.
Until she does, the matter won’t go away, no matter how much she complains.
