Victims of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein could get a congressional public hearing, following a call from Melania Trump. She made a surprise statement from the White House denying any connections to Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, also dismissing rumours Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump. Donald Trump said he was surprised by her address, and he "didn't know anything about" it before she appeared on camera.
