First Lady Denies Ties to Disgraced Financier In a rare public statement, the First Lady has spoken out about her connection to the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who was a friend and associate of several high-profile figures, including former President Donald Trump. The statement comes as renewed scrutiny is being placed on Epstein's network of influential acquaintances. The First Lady's comments appear to be an effort to distance herself from Epstein's scandalous past and any potential implications for her husband's presidency. By denying any close friendship with Epstein and claiming he did not introduce her to President Trump, the First Lady is attempting to put to rest speculation surrounding her relationship with the disgraced financier.


The first lady made a rare public statement on Thursday saying she was not friends with the late sex offender. She also said Epstein did not introduce her to President Donald Trump.
