🚨 BREAKING: First Lady Melania Trump PUBLICLY calls on Congress to ACT on the Epstein situation "Now is the time for Congress to ACT. Epstein was NOT alone." "I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a PUBLIC HEARING specifically centered around the survivors. Give these victims their opportunity to testify UNDER OATH in front of congress with the power of sworn testimony. Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes. And then her testimony should be permanently entered in to the congressional record."
