To the editor: When requested Thursday if he knew what the primary girl was going to say, President Trump replied that he didn’t “know something about” it. One factor is for certain: Now he is aware of.
Melania Trump’s name for congressional hearings that includes the victims of Jeffrey Epstein represents a stark reversal from prior indications given by the White Home and the Justice Division that the case is closed (“Melania Trump delivers assertion at White Home denying ties to Epstein and information of his crimes,” April 9). If Home Republicans observe by and convene the hearings the primary girl is urging, then they are going to be moving into territory the administration itself has been desperate to keep away from.
One can solely surprise how Melania and the president’s contradiction will play out, particularly behind closed doorways. However that’s in the end irrelevant.
What actually issues is that this: If such hearings do happen, the main focus should stay the place it belongs — giving a voice to Epstein’s victims and making certain their testimony is absolutely heard.
For that, Melania Trump deserves credit score for talking out so courageously. If solely her husband was as clear-headed.

To the editor: On Thursday, First Woman Melania Trump made a uncommon public look and a press release about herself and her relationship with the abhorrent, disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. She stated she had no relationship in any way with Epstein and made an evocative plea that such accusations “should cease.”
We, after all, have no idea and can possible by no means know the reality and information about her relationship with Epstein, however that’s not the purpose. To me, the essential and related level is that the primary girl, throughout a month-long information cycle that understandably has been centered on the Iran struggle and void of Epstein information, has single-handedly resurrected curiosity in and a focus to the Epstein scandal. Maybe, some might say that with a spouse like her, who wants enemies? Her press convention on Thursday revived and amped up curiosity in a information story that her husband seemingly desperately desires to go away and by no means return.
