Melania Trump once again found herself on the receiving end of ridicule this week, this time as her name appeared in the Justice Department’s latest tranche of millions of emails in the Jeffrey Epstein case, the same weekend her documentary was released.
The Friday document dump showed the first lady was in communication with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of Epstein.
An email sent by then Melania Knauss to Maxwell in 2002, who was at the time President Donald Trump‘s girlfriend, commended a New York magazine article about Epstein.
“Dear G! How are you?” Melania’s email said, according to The Daily Beast. “Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture.”
At the time, the couple was photographed with Maxwell and Epstein. The email has appeared to be the first written communication between Melania and Maxwell, The Beast reported.
The timing of the email revelation with the brutal release of her eponymous documentary led to widespread mockery on social media.
Walter Hickey, executive editor at Sherwood News, simply reacted on Bluesky, “oh my god,” after reading Melania Trump’s email.
Constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis chided, “Will this be in the documentary?”
Former Washington Post columnist Philip Bump remarked, “This marketing campaign is really pulling out all the stops.”
Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin, founder of The Gaia Leadership Project and The Ripple Effect Institute, wrote on Bluesky, “Oh look, it’s Melania emailing Ghislaine, praising a profile of Jeffrey Epstein, and signed Love, Melania.”
Comedian Brent Terhune jabbed on Bluesky, “Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.”
The Tennessee Holler noted on Bluesky, “Melania & Ghilaisne appear to have been on shorthand name basis— Melania: ‘G!’ Ghislaine: ‘Sweet Pea.’”
The post ‘Will this be in the documentary?’ Melania Trump brutally mocked as Maxwell email emerges appeared first on Raw Story.
