Raw Story
New York Times reporter and CNN contributor Lulu García-Navarro suggested that First Lady Melania Trump's Thursday statement denying connections to Jeffrey Epstein raised more questions than it answered. García-Navarro questioned the timing of the public statement, noting it made no political sense and appeared inconsistent with her typical public profile.
Melania mentioned her upcoming book in the statement, which García-Navarro found a little strange. The reporter highlighted that Melania failed to specify which pictures, stories, or claims she was addressing, making it unclear what she was attempting to preempt. García-Navarro also noted that understanding Melania's true motivation behind the statement would clarify what she was actually trying to tamp down and reject. Without knowing her underlying motive, observers lack sufficient context to understand the statement's actual purpose or what revelations she feared.Also read: MAGA exodus support group soars as Trump devotees walk away: 'One lie too many'Watch the video below.
