Support HuffPost. A coalition of Jeffrey Epstein survivors called out first lady Melania Trump in a statement Thursday to HuffPost, saying she's "shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions to protect those with power," including President Donald Trump's administration. "Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony. The statement comes after Melania Trump said in a news conference Thursday that she has no ties to Epstein and was not a victim of his and that survivors should testify before Congress. The message is signed by 15 women, including two family members of the late Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Epstein accuser.
