Overview
- Amanda Ungaro, responding to Melania Trump’s denial on Thursday, used X to call President Donald Trump a “pedophile” and vowed to sue the couple.
- Her posts were later deleted and Melania’s account was archived, but screenshots continue to circulate online, sustaining public attention.
- The House Oversight Committee has invited Ungaro to testify about the Epstein case, and she has not been subpoenaed.
- Justice Department records list Ungaro on a June 27, 2002 flight on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane, and she says she saw about 30 young women on board who looked like students.
- Ungaro accuses her ex-husband Paolo Zampolli, a longtime Trump associate and current White House envoy, of abuse and of leveraging influence before her ICE detention and October 2025 deportation during their ongoing U.S. custody fight.
