@mintmobile.com we have some major developments regarding Epstein Trump, Melania and a name Paolo Zampoldi. Now, I told you from the beginning we're going to keep tracking down this story and try to figure out why Melania Trump came out of nowhere yesterday and decided to make a bombshell statement about her lack of connections to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. A lot of people speculated, well, there could be a big story on the horizon, what I think and what I'm learning at least. And like I said, we're still digging. So this isn't fully verified, but I want to show you where we're at right now. I want you to know the name Paolo Zampoli. Now, if that name doesn't sound familiar to you, well, he's a Trump administration official and a friend of the Trumps. He is currently serving as a special representative, special envoy for global partnerships. He's represented the United States in varied settings under Donald Trump and well, there's more to this than first meets the eye.

I'm not going to stop digging because it's too important. So please subscribe to my substack. Click the link below to support this work. So Paolo Zampoli is a special envoy appointed by Trump. It's a minor position in Washington, D.C. it's meant to essentially represent the United States in varied social settings. Fine. Well, yesterday, Melania Trump came out and essentially tried to say one of the big claims that has really been bothering her is who introduced Melania to Donald. Previously, Michael Wolf and others had claimed that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania to Donald. Melania Trump says that is categorically false. And minutes after and the hours after Melania Trump's statement, this man, Paolo Zampoli, who is a Trump administration official, decided to call Sky News on his own and say, I introduced Melania. Donald, take a listen to this, because this stunning to me.

Hang on, hang on, hang on. No, he's trying to call me now. Okay, I'm live on the podcast. Hi, Paolo, how are you? I'm actually in the middle of recording our podcast.

You know, it is the case that there were rumors out there that somehow she had been introduced to Trump by Epstein. But. But they were not mainstream rumors. In fact, the person who is credited with introducing Melania and Trump is not Epstein. It's a guy called Paolo Zampoli, who is now, in fact, a. A member of, of Trump's administration. I know him a little bit. He's a. A fascinating character. He is. Used to work in the. In the modeling world in New York, and without question, would have been in Epstein's circle. But then so was Donald Trump and so was Melania, and so were many, many other people. That doesn't, doesn't imply wrongdoing. Paolo Zampoli is now a member of the, of the administration. And when you see him, and I've, you know, I've met him on a number of occasions. I've had a drink with him, and he will tell you about the time he introduced Melania and Donald Trump. So that's the official story. And what Melania has now done is gone. Got out perhaps ahead of stuff that she is worried about coming out to tell everyone. This is nonsense. Be careful about what you believe. This is the truth. Listen to me. Very, very interesting.

Here's where things get interesting.

Do you know, Martha, very strangely, I have just. I was talking moments ago about Paolo Zampoli. Yeah, I just tweet. I just messaged him before started recording this to see if he got any response to what's been going on. I hadn't expected he'd reply. I Thought he was in Hungary, actually, because he was traveling with J.D. vance to Hungary. He was part of that delegation. But he's just replied to me. And this is, well, a bit of breaking news because he has told me that he is ready to testify before Congress to prove that he was the individual who introduced President Trump to Melania Trump. So that's fascinating. He's willing to go before Congress to prove that any suggestion that it was Epstein who introduced the Trumps is wrong and that it was he that did that. So there you go. Fascinating.

An invitation to Congress live on Trump 100. Maybe they'll take him up on it.

That's a pretty stunning development. So as Sky News is doing this, Paolo Zampoli texts one of the hosts and says, I'm willing to come in front of Congress. I'm willing to testify that I introduced Melania and Donald. Now, here's the thing. A lot of people are going to say, who cares who introduced who and why? Well, the reason why it matters primarily is because, well, is Melania Trump telling the truth or not? Is Donald Trump telling the truth or not? It goes to their credibility, right? If Paolo introduced the two of them or if Epstein introduced the two of them, at the end of the day, it may not make a huge material difference. But Paolo Zampoli saying he's willing to testify under oath in front of Congress, that is a major development, and Congress should make him testify. But here's why it even gets more interesting. Because Paolo Zampoli also was accused by the New York Times of calling ICE to detain his ex girlfriend. Now, you may say, why? Does that have any connection? We're going to get there momentarily. So last June, the man credited for introducing Trump to his wife asked the administration for a favor. Zampoli, a former modeling agent turned presidential special envoy, had learned that his ex girlfriend, Amanda Ungaro, was in a Miami jail. Arrested on charges of fraud. They had been in a custody battle over their teenage son. Now he saw an opportunity. He reached out to a top ICE official, explaining that his ex was in the country illegally. Could she be put in ICE detention? The official promptly called the agency's Miami office to ensure that ICE agents would pick her up before she was released from jail. The woman, Amanda Ungaro, was placed in ICE custody, ultimately deported, an outcome that could have happened regardless of Zampoli's meddling. But the ICE officials willingness to spring into action for a Trump ally, even in what a low level, largely ceremonial role, reflects a recurring theme of the second Trump administration. Okay, so Zampoli denied to ice, denied asking ICE to detain Ngaro. He said he merely asked to explain what was going on with her case. Zampoli has this close connection with Melania and with the Trumps, has an end table displaying copy of the First Lady's book, Melania has repeatedly been behind Mrs. Trump at the United nations, etc. Etc. Has also been connected to Jeffrey Epstein, also has the situation with his ex wife Amanda or ex partner, ex girlfriend Amanda Ungaro, who has since been deported. Now here's where things get a little murky and nothing is fully verified yet. So I'm going to be careful on how I say things and what I say. The Amanda Ungaro Epstein Melania connection, that's something that needs to be fleshed out. There have been a lot of theories online, like I said this morning, that the reason why Melania came out was because Amanda Ngaro was prepared to say something. So there's a lot there that hasn't been fully fleshed out yet. But the conduit behind all of it seems to be Paolo Zampoli, who currently serves as a special envoy in the administration, who is close to the Trumps, who as he says, introduced the Trumps and really is now making it a point to even try to get in front of Congress to testify that he was the one under oath that introduced Melania and Donald. So a lot of moving parts right now in this entire situation. It is very peculiar timing. It still doesn't make much sense to me as to why now, what is prompting Melania to do this now.
