Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Photo

Jimmy Kimmel is calling BS when it comes to Melania Trump denying ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The First Lady made a surprise public speech at the White House on April 9, apparently blinding husband Donald and other White House officials, to declare that she has “never been friends with Epstein.”

“I never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims,” Melania told the press. “I was never involved in any capacity – I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane and never visited his private island… I was never friends with Epstein. Donald and I were from time to time invited to the same parties as Epstein, as overlap in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach.”

She later added: “There have been countless fake images and statements about Epstein and me circulating on social media for years. Be careful what you believe. These images and stories are completely false.”

According to Kimmel, not so fast. During his April 9 monologue on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the late-night host aired an infamous, widely circulated photo of Donald and Melania posing with Epstein, saying, “As you explain how much you didn’t know Epstein, can you think of some reason he had a photo of you in his house? Maybe this is the photo that came with the frame, I don’t know.’

“When I see this, I think, these two don’t know each other at all,” Kimmel joked.

Donald Trump told MS Now after his wife’s speech he didn’t know she made such a statement in advance. He also emphasized that “she didn’t know [Epstein].”

“He didn’t know she was going to do it until she did it, which shows how smoothly things run there,” Kimmel said. “She must really hate him. I don’t know how else to explain it.”

While Kimmel regularly bashes Donald Trump on his late night show, he has increasingly focused his anger on Melania in recent months. The release of the Amazon documentary “Melania” in January in particular fueled Kimmel’s anger. He called it a “75 million dollar bribe” that “Amazon made for her” and later called it “a documentary that is terribly boring.” The whole thing is about Melania going to fittings, driving a car, trying on clothes and interviewing people to work for her.”
