Melania's Epstein Denial

from The Weekend Hosted by Jackie Alemany, Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, Stephanie Grisham, George Conway, Mitch Landrieu, Rep. Summer Lee, Rep. Mike Quigley

April, 11 2026, 9 AM; The rare public appearance caught many White House staffers off guard according to a White House official, including President Donald Trump. Yet, there's still no clear reason why the First Lady decided to make her statement now, or why she felt it was the time to call on Congress to hold a public hearing for Epstein’s survivors, especially as her husband has repeatedly called the Epstein controversy a “Democrat hoax.” Former W.H. Communications Director Stephanie Grisham joins The Weekend to discuss the First Lady's actions and her denial of any close relationship with Epstein and Maxwell.
