A new wave of controversy has hit the Trump family after fresh allegations involving First Lady Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein surfaced in a report by The Daily Beast.
According to the report, an audio recording from former model Amanda Ungaro claims Epstein—not a modeling agent—introduced Melania to Donald Trump, contradicting the long-standing account that she met Trump through Paolo Zampolli at a 1998 New York Fashion Week event.
Ungaro also alleged that Melania was working as an escort at the time of the introduction, a claim that directly challenges Melania’s public statements and her denial of any meaningful connection to Epstein beyond a brief encounter years later.
The report further says Ungaro shared her claims amid a custody dispute with Zampolli, who has strongly denied the accusations and suggested the recording may be fabricated or influenced by personal conflict.
The White House and Melania Trump’s office have not issued any response to the latest allegations, and none of the claims have been independently verified.
The resurfacing of Epstein-related narratives continues to fuel intense public scrutiny around figures linked—directly or indirectly—to the late financier, whose past associations with powerful individuals remain a recurring political flashpoint.
For now, the latest claims remain allegations, but they have already reignited debate online and in political circles about Epstein’s network and its wider connections.
