Journalist Brian Krassenstein has said that Melania Trump’s recent statement almost certainly was in defense of an emerging story involving Amanda Ungaro.

Ungaro has recently come out saying she is taking legal action against both Melania and Donald Trump.

She has been in the news following claims that Paolo Zampolli, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, worked with the Trump administration to arrange her deportation. Ungaro says she was brought to the US on Epstein’s plane at just 17, and that Zampolli had previously acted as a modelling agent for both her and Melania.

In a series of recent viral posts, Ungaro has called Trump a p*dophile and said she has nothing left to lose, adding that the system is completely corrupt.
