Who was introduced to whom? It seems a trivial point but one which Melania Trump and her husband are obsessing over as it determines who was instrumental in the making of Trump’s wife. Prince Andrew also has the same obsession. You can read Part One here.
According to the Daily Mail, Zampolli claims he introduced Melania to Trump at a NYC venue called the Kit Kat Club in 1998. This may well be correct and can be corroborated but it shouldn’t be considered in any way a solid base for a libel case against Biden’s son.
For one, it will be Melania’s lawyers who will have to decouple the link between Zampolli and Epstein’s circle which, as Michael Wolff, the author of a number of books about Trump, explains in a recent podcast with the Daily Beast.
Wolff says the first lady’s relationship with Epstein was “very involved” with his social circles, which could potentially, The Daily Beast argues, be very damaging to Trump with the financier’s pedophile ring which he has always claimed he was never part of, despite a report claiming that his name is in the FBI’s probe, revealed by the Wall Street Journal on July 23rd.
Wolff seems to suggest that the lurid Epstein cohort of young girls, which today is acknowledged as being a honey trap aimed at benefiting Mossad, included Melania who leading up to when she met Trump had a failing career as a model, according to reports sourcing a former flat mate who claimed that she couldn’t get top shoots with magazines like Marie Claire. Indeed, the attraction to Trump, some might argue in any defamation case which arrives, was that he gave new life to her modelling career which took off the moment they met, albeit with Trump helping with gimmicky, tasteless nude photoshoots in his own private jet. The attraction was mutual and not complicated to understand.
What exactly was the arrangement of this relationship? Did Trump help not only her career but also her immigration status? Was the marriage one which lawyers call a ‘sham’? Recent years have shown many examples of the couple no longer being close but defamation lawyers representing Biden will argue that her character and her motivations towards Trump were not genuine at best, or even immoral at worse. Melania’s character and how close she was to Epstein will be critical in such a libel case as, fundamentally both in the UK and U.S., defamation laws are all about protecting someone’s reputation. If you are claiming your reputation has been damaged, then you also have to prove that you are someone of high moral fibre. Prove that the ‘victim’ had no real reputation in the first place to ‘protect’ and the libel case that she initiates collapses.
This is at the heart of what is vexing Melania. She doesn’t want any of that period between 1995 and 1998 being put under public scrutiny and examined in the bare light of day. And she has good reason to avoid any kind of investigation or public opprobrium of her character and behaviour.
For Wolff, his assertions about her character are not very kind, as, according to his book and his interviews she was very much part of the Epstein operation which she penetrated to gentrify herself though meeting wealthy men.
Yet in the podcast, he confirms that, technically speaking, it was probably Zampolli who actually made the introduction.
“She’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with,” the author told Joanna Coles. “She’s introduced to Trump that way. Epstein [knew] her well.”
If Trump and Epstein basically controlled Zampolli and were instrumental in his modelling agency flourishing, it could easily be argued that in fact, the ‘introduction’ was made by Epstein himself who would profit from being a match maker to the U.S. president. A more reprehensible possibility might be that Epstein even had a blackmail angle on Trump over Melania’s activities and who she had relations with previously, perhaps even Epstein himself – which may well explain the real reason why Trump fell out with him, rather than the one presented.
If blackmail was so central to the whole Epstein operation, then it is hardly surprising if even the players themselves resort to the same tactics. Maxwell, in her interview with prosecutors, claims that Virginia Giuffre’s allegations of being used as a teen sex worker, forced to service Prince Andrew’s needs was all about making money from a book. She claims that Guiffre didn’t have sex with Prince Andrew in the bath of Maxwell’s London flat as it was too small and that the infamous photo of Guiffre and Prince Andrew is faked. She explains that Giuffre was paid handsomely though for entertaining the British royal and did admit, at least, that she was at Maxwell’s house in 2001 with both Epstein and Prince Andrew.
Just as Melania Trump is obsessed about the allegation that she was introduced to Trump by Epstein, it would seem Prince Andrew is also as vexed by the allegation that Ghislaine Maxwell introduced him to Epstein. As part of the blatant whitewash worked out between Maxwell and Trump, she also stated that it was in fact Sarah Ferguson, his ex-wife, who introduced Andrew to Epstein.
In Woolf’s book, published in 2017, just two years before Epstein finally died mysteriously in prison, he claims that Melania and Trump had their first sexual encounter on board the Lolita Express – a claim that naturally infuriates both of them, but perhaps Melania more as the Mile High Club encounter hardly paints her as pristine Jacky Kennedy first lady material but more of an eastern European model down on her luck needing a break.
The recent press reports about Ghislaine Maxwell being very cooperative with investigators should worry Trump although as there can be little doubt now that a deal has been struck between her and the U.S. president as her reluctance, reported on social media platforms, for the so-called ‘file’ to not be made public is interesting. Few in America doubt that Trump’s name is in the dossier many times over, as even Pam Bondi has stated this. What is the real issue now is how the Trumps prepare to face the media as it is their reputation and character which is under scrutiny, if Melania goes ahead with her case. If Trump is planning on allowing Ghislaine to name and shame the 100 or so characters who she believes drank from the Epstein fountain of depravity whether on his Island or his opulent Manhattan town house – but to tone down Trump’s activity in return for a plea deal – Trump will have those 100 individuals and the legal clout they can buy to destroy him. Or does he figure that if he protects Bill Clinton – which Maxwell does as she hilariously claims he behaved entirely above board and only used the Lolita Express to make trips to Africa – that he might buy enough capital to protect himself from that baptism of fire?
The hold he has on them, until now, will be severed placing him and his wife in the most vulnerable position they could be in. Trump’s only real forte or skills seems to be when he was working as a reality TV star so he will have to draw on those experiences in media management. But one has to wonder if he has thought through the implications of Melania’s trial or is his own vanity foolishly drawing him to the media spotlight, like a moth to the flame. Would it be so far-fetched to think that the public court of opinion might see her in a poor light at those Epstein parties while, by the same token, viewing him more of a vulnerable, lonely middle-aged man? The Maxwell whitewashing stunt may not be nearly be enough to pull off Trump’s greatest bluff to date if his wife enters a courtroom with Hunter Biden and faces the heat.
