Trump Says He Wasn’t Surprised by Melania’s Statement

President Trump told the New York Times that he had known his wife wanted to speak about Jeffrey Epstein at some point, and that he “thought she had a right to talk about it,” even if he had not known what exactly she planned to say.

Said Trump: “It doesn’t bother me.”

He added: “I didn’t know what the statement was, but I knew she was going to make a statement.”
