Insider claims Melania's Epstein speech was plot to get Trump: 'She hates her husband'

Author Michael Wolff argued that First Lady Melania Trump called on Congress to hold hearings on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein because she "hates" her husband, President Donald Trump.

In a video posted on Friday, Wolff reacted to the first lady's speech by noting that it "contradicts much of the evidence, known timeline, and much of what Epstein has directly said about her."

Melania Trump claimed that although she attended parties with Epstein, she was not friends with him or his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Wolff sued the first lady last year after he claimed she threatened him with a $1 billion lawsuit to muzzle his reporting on her alleged ties to Epstein, who communicated extensively with the author.

"We know that she's unhappy about my lawsuit against her," Wolff said. "But is this an effort to influence the judge? It's a Trump judge, by the way. Or intimidate the judge? Intimidation is, of course, what my case against her is about."

He speculated that Melania Trump might be "getting out in front" of a story about her.

"And then the other, perhaps obvious point might just be that she hates her husband," Wolff continued. "He's the one who got her into this Epstein mess. He's the one now threatening to damage the Melania brand. She's p-----."

"And in a way, what she's doing is saying to Congress and perhaps to a future Democratic Congress on the horizon, investigate the son of a b----," he added.
