Donald Trump's biographer Michael Wolff has claimed First Lady Melania Trump was “very involved” in Epstein’s social circle. He suggests her ties to Epstein could be key to understanding Trump’s own connection to the disgraced financier.

Donald Trump’s friendship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein dates back to the 1980s, around the same time the president met his wife, Melania Trump. In a new “The Daily Beast Podcast,” biographer Michael Wolff explained how Melania’s involvement with Jeffrey is what led her to meet her husband before they married in 2005.
