Melania Trump has always denied having a relationship with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. But a former associate of Donald Trump and Melania Trump has made a sensational and explosive claim about the beginning of their relationship.
He claims that US First Lady Melania Trump once worked as an escort or sex partner for notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and that she met Trump through Epstein.
Former Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro made the explosive comments in the recorded audio. She accused her former partner and modeling agent Paolo Zampoli of perjury. Zampoli has long claimed that he introduced Melania and Donald Trump at a party in 1998. Zampoli was later appointed as a special envoy of the US administration.
In a press conference last April, Melania denied her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and denounced it as a politically motivated lie. But an audio recording of Ungaro leaked on social media X claims that the story is completely false. Ungaro and Zampoli have been in a bitter legal battle over custody of their children for the past several months.
In that WhatsApp recording, Ungaro can be heard telling Zampoli that he should tell people the truth, because Zampoli never introduced Melania to Trump. It was done by Jeffrey Epstein, because Melania was Jeffrey’s escort. Ungaro said he’s been with Zampoli for 20 years and Zampoli himself told him.
In response to the comments, Paolo Zampoli said: “It is very shameful to say such things about the first lady. He added that he was concerned about Ungaro’s mental health and needed urgent psychiatric treatment. In 2002, at the age of 17, Ungaro boarded Epstein’s private plane. Brunel, who collected women and teenage girls for Epstein.
According to US Department of Justice documents, a former Epstein aide previously told the FBI that Epstein was the one who introduced Trump and Melania. Still, Zampoli stood by his claim. The audio recording was originally posted by independent journalist Anthony Andrews but was later removed.
Zampoli claims that the audio that Ungaro circulated was generated using artificial intelligence, or AI. But journalist Andrews rejected the claims, saying he had plenty of evidence and they were not produced by AI. Zampoli’s lawyer is currently taking legal action against the defamatory post.
