美國第一夫人聲明：謊言必須在今天結(jié)束

綜合美媒報(bào)道，美國第一夫人梅拉尼婭4月9日發(fā)表聲明，否認(rèn)與已故富商愛潑斯坦及其罪行有任何關(guān)聯(lián)，呼吁停止散播關(guān)于她與愛潑斯坦關(guān)系的謊言，同時(shí)呼吁國會(huì)為愛潑斯坦的受害者舉行公開聽證會(huì)。

US First Lady Melania Trump has denied connections to Jeffrey Epstein, telling reporters at the White House that any claims linking the two "need to end today". In a surprise announcement on Thursday, the first lady called for congressional hearings for survivors of Epstein's sex trafficking.

據(jù)《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》報(bào)道，梅拉尼婭當(dāng)天在白宮發(fā)表聲明稱，“那些將我與聲名狼藉的愛潑斯坦聯(lián)系起來的謊言必須在今天結(jié)束。那些散布關(guān)于我的謊言的人毫無道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、毫無謙卑之心，也不懂得尊重他人。”

梅拉尼婭表示，她此前從不知曉愛潑斯坦的任何虐待行為。她說：“我沒有參與其中，從未搭乘過愛潑斯坦的飛機(jī)，也從未去過他的私人島嶼。”

"I have never had any knowledge of Epstein abuse of his victims," she said. "I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant." She also said she never visited Epstein's island or flew on Epstein's private plane.

梅拉尼婭說，她此舉部分是為了回應(yīng)社交媒體上流傳的將她與愛潑斯坦聯(lián)系起來的虛假圖像和言論。她說：“這些圖像和說法完全是假的。”

梅拉尼婭還表示，她從未與愛潑斯坦做過朋友。她還說，自己不是愛潑斯坦的受害者之一，也不是經(jīng)由愛潑斯坦介紹認(rèn)識(shí)特朗普的。

She said she had not been a victim of Epstein, with whom she only briefly "crossed paths" in 2000.

She also denied online rumours that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, calling them "mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation".

She said that "fake images and statements" about her and Epstein have been circulating on social media for years now.

"Be cautious about what you believe," she said. "These images and stories are completely false."

愛潑斯坦與大批美國政商名流往來密切，因涉嫌性犯罪被捕后，于2019年8月在獄中死亡，并被判定為“自殺”。2025年12月19日，美國司法部開始在其網(wǎng)站公布愛潑斯坦案文件。文件中大量提及克林頓。
