The first lady said &#8220;now is the time for Congress to act.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors,&#8221; the first lady told a group of gathered reporters at the White House. &#8220;Give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony. Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public, if she wishes, and then her testimony should be permanently entered into the congressional record. Then and only then, we will have the truth. Thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear why the first lady delivered her statement on Thursday, instead of immediately following the release of specific records. Old photos of the Trumps with Epstein and Maxwell have been publicly available, and the Justice Department emails revealed the first lady and Maxwell corresponded at least once over email.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Melania Trump said Epstein did not introduce her to Donald Trump, and the brief email exchange released in the DOJ records between her and Maxwell was merely a &#8220;polite,&#8221; &#8220;casual&#8221; reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not Epstein&#8217;s victim,&#8221; the first lady said. &#8220;Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. I met my husband by chance at a New York City party in 1998. This initial encounter with my husband is documented in detail in my book Melania. The first time I crossed paths with Epstein was in the year 2000 at an event Donald and I attended together. At the time, I had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings. Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been circulating on social media for years now. Be cautious about what you believe. These images and stories are completely false.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have never had any knowledge of Epstein&#8217;s abuse of his victims,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant. Was never on Epstein&#8217;s plane. And never visited his private island.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list
