Cancel contact T Mobile Melania Trump's dark past is surfacing, but she wants everybody to know that Jeffrey Epstein did not introduce her to Donald Trump. Epstein had nothing to do with it. It was somebody by the name of Apollo Zompoli who made the introduction. And Melania Trump has been through a lawyer sending cease and desist letters and threatening any reporters who say that it was Jeffrey Epstein who introduced Melania to Donald Trump. And Melania doesn't make a lot of social media posts. But with regard to retractions that were issued by the Daily Beast and by others, she keeps on posting those over and over again, almost like trophies. But I mean here's the thing. She met Donald Trump at the KitKat Club by her own admission. Let's go to what her story is. She met Donald Trump at a place called the KitKat Club in 1998 which was part of these parties that were thrown by a guy named Paolo Zampoli where he introduced young Eastern European woman who was part of his modeling agencies to wealthy men. I mean that's the real story that is out there. And then as we all know, Melania would do nude model suits. She said she was very proud of the nude work that she did recently. We know that in Russia state regime. Russian media shows those photos of her quite frequently on their state regime media. I'm not sure why they do that. You could make your own guesses. But here's what Melania posts. Daily Beast apologizes and retracts article alleging a Melania Trump Jeffrey Epstein link. But interestingly there, I mean you see the photo she posts. It's of her, Donald Trump Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I mean the photograph is a real photo. They knew each other. I think she's just wants to be clear. Epstein wasn't the person who made that introduction. Okay, then there's this article from the New York Post Pundit James Carville apologizes and pulls video Suggesting Melania Trump Epstein connection after Melania's lawyer sent a cease and desist letter there. Why don't we just go through the facts first, let's look at Melania's own biography that she had to take down many years ago. So you look at Melania's biography and here's what it says. Melania Trump biography. Born on April 26, 1970 in Slovenia, Melania now began her modeling career at the age of 16. At the age of 18, she signed with a modeling agency in Milan, which one. After obtaining a degree in design and architecture in the University of Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally setting, settling in New York in 1996. Okay, that's, that's her story. But then she had to remove that because it appears she did not graduate from any architecture school at all. That she was a dropout from school. I mean, which, which by the way, at the end of the day, people have their own paths, but you know, there seems to be a lack of transparency there. She never earned a degree in architecture. She dropped out of college after her freshman year, according to her biographers. Still, she claimed to have degree from the University of Slovenia. The Slovenian journalist Pozar Nomerza wrote in their biography on her that she became and remained a college dropout after leaving a local university's architecture school following her first year. She attended lectures on the following subjects. Elements of Architecture, Fine Arts, Fundamentals of Technical Mechanics, Architectural Construction, Descriptive Geometry, Mathematics and ideological Read communist elective credit called General Partisan Resistance and Social Protection. Okay, could you imagine if, if, if another first lady had that class as, as her background? What Fox News would be saying, um, she would have made it to her sophomore year even if she didn't pass certain exams. But she was supposed to have gotten a one month internship. But in any event, it seems to say that she got this degree was an exaggeration. Putting it lightly. She removed that from the website, talking about how she met Donald Trump. Here's the guy right here, Paulo Zompoli. You see him, he ran a modeling agency. He's since become very, he's, he's always was a very close friend. He started with the model agency, then had the models work in his real estate agency that he then created. And he stayed friends with Donald Trump and he became like an ambassador. Like right now he's got, he's, he's an ambassador, but he was the one who made the introduction and he secured Melania's visa to the United States and then introduced her To Donald Trump at the KitKat Club, his parties featured alligators, tiger cubs, and models at nightclubs blowing kisses at fashion television cameras. So, you know, you know, you have that there going. Looking through Melania's background as well, other notable points, I think to point out is just, just take it her at her own word, you know, about the things that she said. Right. When Donald Trump was found saying that he grabs women by their genitals, and when you're rich, they let you get away with it. And Melania was there defending it. I mean, she said that's locker room talk, and she said she's okay with it. So here's what she said about that. Here, play this clip. He described it as locker room talk to you. I mean, you sort of alluded to that as well. Is that what it is to you? Just locker room talk?
Melania Trump
Yeah, it's kind of a. Two teenage boys, actually. They should behave better. Right?
Political Commentator
He was 59.
Melania Trump
Correct. And sometimes I said, I have two boys at home, I have my young son, and I have my husband. So. But I know how some men talk, and that's how I saw it.
Political Commentator
Yes, I mean, that's what she said about those statements. I mean, granted, I mean, you know, yes, they're married, so she's come into his defense. But I mean, locker room talk, that's not how men talk about things. That's not locker room talk. That's not okay. That's not normalized behavior. You know, given her background as well and the fact that she got this, allegedly got an Einstein visa, I mean, I guess there are questions, you know, what was the original visa that she got? How is she here in the first place? You know, I don't know. You know, was it a. Was it a tourist visa? And then she was working on a tourist visa that then converted to an Einstein visa, which is for, like, super genius talents. How'd she secure that visa? How did that happen? You know, there's, there's, there's a lot of questions there that I still think are outstanding. Donald Trump was supposed to hold a press conference about, you know, her background and about her immigration status during the first time he ran for office. He said he was holding a press conference. What do you say? In two weeks? And he never ended up having the press conference. But here was Donald Trump saying he was holding the press conference that never ended up happening Here. Play this clip.
Donald Trump
Wait. They said my wife Melania might have come in illegally. Can you believe that one? No, no, no. They said headlines. Maybe she came in illegally. Maybe. Let me tell you one thing. She has got it so documented. So she's going to have a little news conference over the next couple of weeks. That's good. That's good. I love it. I love it. They said Melania Trump may have come into our country illegally. And how would that be for Donald Trump to be talked? Here's the only problem. She came in totally legally. I mean, you know, so that's what it's like. All right, but you'll see it in a little while. I said to her, no, no, let it simmer for a little while. Let them go wild, let it simmer and then let's have a little news conference and have some fun.

And then as a reminder, Melania would then go on tv. And she would say, we need to see Obama's birth certificate and Obama this, Obama that. Here's what Melania said about Obama. Play this clip.
Interviewee
But what is this with the birth certificate obsession? Did he ask to see yours when you met him?
Melania Trump
Well, I needed to put mine anyway. Because if you want to become an American citizen, you need to put the birth certificate. I have, have a birth certificate from Slovenia. And do you want to see President Obama birth certificate or not?
Interviewee
I've seen it.
Melania Trump
It's not the birth certificate.
Interviewee
Well, it's a certificate of live birth, which they give. But Melania, that if they, if he insists on what he's saying, then no one in Hawaii can ever run for president because they all get the same live birth certificate.
Melania Trump
Well, but they need to have is finished.
Interviewee
For example, they need to have an.
Melania Trump
In one way, it will be very easy if President Obama just show it. And because it's not only is not only Donald who wants to see it, it's American people who voted for him and who didn't vote for him. They want to see that.
Interviewee
But it's on display in Chicago. We've seen it on the Internet. We've seen it. It's not the same as yours, but it's a certificate of live birth.
Melania Trump
We feel it's, it's different than, you know, birth certificate.
Interviewee
All right, well, I think you should give it up.
Melania Trump
Well, it's not, it's the, it's not him that is bringing up. It's the media all the time. All the time. His points are really about bringing back the jobs.

Now, let's not also forget that Melania plagiarized Michelle Obama's convention speech almost word for word, bar for bar. She just took the convention speech. Here. You can hear it for yourself. Let's, let's play that right now for you. Here. Play it.
Melania Trump
The values that you work hard for.
Michelle Obama
What you want, for what you want in life, that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you're gonna do, that you treat people with dignity and respect. And because we want our children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them. For them.

Recently, Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett brought up Melania. And here's what Congresswoman Crockett had to say. Play this clip.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett
And since we're talking about integrity, I'm confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren't talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the President's family's visas. Let me remind y' all that Melania, the First Lady, a model. And when I say model, I'm not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell. Level applied for and was given an EB1 visa. And what that stands for is an Einstein visa. Now, y' all that don't know, let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa. You're supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer, being an Olympic medalist, or having other sustained, extraordinary abilities and success in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. Last time I checked, the first lady had none of those accolades under her belt. It doesn't take an Einstein to see that the math ain't math in here.

And here's what one of Donald Trump's victims had to say about an interaction that she had when she was there with Trump and she saw Melania and what went down here. Play this clip.
Natasha Stoynoff
My name is Natasha Stoynoff. In 2005, I went to interview Donald Trump at Mar A Lago. At one point, Melania went upstairs to change her clothes for the next photo shoot. And Trump said to me, I want to show you this beautiful painting, this beautiful room. He leads me to this room, pushes me against the wall, and starts kissing me forcefully. I tried to push him. He kept coming back at me. I was in shock and smothered. And he had his hands here against my shoulders. I felt sick inside. I felt horrified. And thank goodness the butler charges into the room. Like many women, I blamed myself. So Trump turned to me and said, you know we're going to have an affair, don't you? And Melania was approaching. I was horrified when the Access Hollywood tape came out and also stories of many other women, including Eugene Carroll. I realized I was not to blame, that he was just a predator of women. What could have happened if the butler had not come into the room? Donald Trump is an adjudicated sexual assaulter.
Political Commentator
And then I should also note that Melania then got fast track citizenship with the Einstein visa, the super genius visa or whatever they call it. Then, through chain migration, she brought her family into the United States again. These are all policies that Donald Trump is against and goes after others for doing. And so, you know, I mean, she's out there going after the Daily Beast, and she's out there going after, you know, other people, you know, and she's saying, let me be clear. It was not Epstein who made the introduction, so issue retractions there, okay? It was Paolo Zompoli. It was a, it was a modeling agency run by Paolo Zompoli at the Kit Kat Club. And, and that's, you know, that's, that, that's how the introduction went down. I think that a lot more disclosure was needed. Trump promised two weeks there would be a press conference. It never happened. But, you know, I think if you believe in transparency, you should, it should be addressed, especially in light of all of the issues that Donald Trump is having right now, you know, and him covering up his dark past. So, you know, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching.
