From CNN.

First lady Melania Trump blasted “lies linking me to the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein” in extraordinary and rare remarks from the White House Thursday, attempting to distance herself from the convicted sex offender while calling on Congress to hold public hearings allowing his victims to testify on Capitol Hill.

Epstein survivor Alicia Arden told CNN she would testify if given the chance. Meanwhile, a group of survivors released a statement, saying in part that survivors "have already shown extraordinary courage" and that "asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice."
