First Lady Melania Trump rarely enters the political arena.
But Melania just got dragged right to the center of a major scandal.
And a top Democrat just did one thing to Melania Trump that no one saw coming.
As Conservative Reboot reports:
For the last ten years, Democrats operated like they could say and do anything in opposition to Donald Trump.
That status quo began to change when Trump won a $15 million settlement from ABC News after anchor George Stephanopoulos falsely stated that a jury adjudicated Trump as a rapist in the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit.
Democrat strategist James Carville wanted no part of President Trump’s legal team.
Carville posted a public apology following an episode of his podcast where he and a guest falsely asserted a connection between deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Melania Trump.
“In last week’s podcast episode, we spoke with Judd Legum. After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump’s lawyer. He took issue with our title of one of those YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the first lady. We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode. I also take back these statements and apologize,” the apology read.
Melania Trump also posted the apology on her social media.

Carville wasn’t the only leftwinger having to apologize for lying about Epstein and Melania Trump or face the prospect of a multi-million dollar legal judgment.
The Daily Beast deleted an article where author Michael Wolf falsely claimed that Epstein helped introduce Donald Trump to Melania.
An editor’s note stood in place of the now-deleted article.
“Editor’s Note. After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump’s attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article. After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding,” the editor’s note read.
Democrats and the media keep trying to make hay out of the scandal surrounding the Epstein files.
But this smear campaign is failing.
Prominent Democrats and media outlets got out over their skis and fired off a series of false claims about Melania Trump and Epstein that they had to retract under legal threat.
Google searches about Epstein plummeted nearly 90 percent from three weeks ago when the Department of Justice announced it wouldn’t release any more Epstein files.
Polls also show that President Trump’s approval rating is unchanged and that just one percent of Americans view the Epstein files as the nation’s top issue.
