Melania Trump’s former top aide calls ‘BS’ on Trump not knowing about first lady’s Epstein statement
First lady Melania Trump distanced herself from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in a White House address on Thursday
Stephanie Grisham, first lady Melania Trump’s former chief of staff, told CNN on Thursday that she believes President Donald Trump was lying when he said he did not know his wife would give an address discussing Jeffrey Epstein.
“I’m gonna say, I call BS on our president saying he knew nothing about it, because at the very least I imagine [Melania Trump] would have given him a heads up if she had sent an advisory out yesterday,” Grisham said on CNN’s The Lead.
On Thursday, the first lady gave a White House address denying that she had any connections to Epstein and insisting that any claims to the contrary "need to end today."

In 2015, Donald Trump boasted that his administration would be filled with only “the best and most serious people … top-of-the-line professionals”.
Meet Stephanie Grisham, Trump’s third press secretary and sixth communications director, Melania Trump’s first spokeswoman and second chief of staff. All that in less than four years.
Before Trump, Grisham reportedly lost one job for padding expense reports and another over plagiarism and was twice cited for driving under the influence. As White House press secretary, she never delivered a formal briefing. Instead, she ladled out interviews to Fox News and OAN.
Grisham even went so far as to issue a statement proclaiming that John Kelly, a retired four-star general and past chief of staff, “was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great president”. As Grisham recounts, MSNBC said that statement, which she says was dictated by Trump, had “a decidedly North Korean tone”. It had a point.
Finally, on 6 January 2021, Grisham resigned. The insurrectionists who attacked the US Capitol had claimed an unintended scalp. On the page, Grisham lets it be known that the election was not stolen, that she urged the first lady to denounce the storming of the Capitol, and that Melania demurred because she was more concerned with setting up a photo shoot for a rug. That, Grisham writes, was when she decided enough was finally enough.

- Put that aside for the moment - she actually has worked with other politicians, as spokesperson for the Republicans in the Arizona House of Representatives.
- She also previously served as the spokesperson for Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne.
- She doesn't have a background in politics, but has been connected to the Trump family for the last five years.
- And she's quietly worked her way up to being one of the president's closest allies - and one of his highest paid, on $180,000 (£140,000) a year. . .

Working with the eldest daughter of Donald Trump meant Hope Hicks eventually caught the eye of the US president.
