I have a feeling the names Paolo Zampolli and Amanda Ungaro are going to be getting a lot of attention in the next few weeks.

Unless Mango Mussolini invades Cuba next to deflect attention.

Melania's alibi witness, Zampolli is Special Envoy for Global Partnerships (sometimes referred to as U.S. Special Representative for Global Partnerships). Did not require Senate approval.

Business Partnerships: In 2004, Epstein was a partner in Zampolli's bid to purchase Elite Model Management. Also discussed buying another agency together, though the deal never materialized.

Legal Documents: Zampolli's name appears multiple times in "Epstein files". One 2011 email from Epstein to an Emirati businessman warned that "zampoli [sic] is trouble," claiming he "sells stories to the press".

Social and Industry Overlap: Both men were prominent fixtures in the New York City modeling and nightlife scenes in the 1990s. Zampolli was also named as a partner in Ghislaine Maxwell's charity, the TerraMar Project, in 2013.

Check out Lev Panas. At one point, he substantiated the Michael Wolfe allegation that Trump paid Epstein for Melania!

She and he deserve each other, but the American people deserve neither of them.

Thanks Thom for connecting the facts - as always

Guess Melania doesn't like locker room talk when it is about HER....

I don't care, do you? Maybe we should put that on a t-shirt or jacket. There is no end to the hypocrisy on her part and the predatory behavior of her husband. The lies and cover-ups will eventually get them both.

I'm looking forward to the time when they are both exposed, stopped, and made to pay back every dime they have cost this nation. Screw them and the horse they rode in on (MAGA). See you in the streets.

All potential witnesses should be deposed.

That should happen, but it's unlikely to.

it's naive to think Melania spoke up without susie wile's knowledge. she's every bit as much a grifter as he is (see: the movie. the combative responses about her "brand."). after 35 years in this country, with access to the best tutors money can buy, she still speaks like someone who just got off the boat. I'm not even sure she watches the news in English, and why should she? everything these clowns do is for show. the Iran taco narrative is so horrid, so damaging, trump wanted to shift headlines back to Epstein, but on HIS terms (blaming the victims again). give it a day or two, he'll shift it back to Iran. they may keep these two footballs in the air until the midterms.

Isn't it sweet, how the self righteous true believing Christians that are Trumps base, ignore this pedophilia, and the evidence that Melania posed nude, and is shown in a photograph with Donald, Jeffrie and Ghislane.

She was coached to pull a Donald, stand in front of the mic, act indignant and threatening. Donald knew all about that performance, he had to as it required a lot of planning, organizing, and the place was swamped with technicians setting up mic's and cameras.

I heard that it was Epstein who introduced Melania to Donald.

There are some very salacious photos of her, even in the nude, I wonder if they have been scrubbed from the netz.

She is a phony as her husband. I would love to see some background investigation on her in Slovenia and her early days in NY.

Actually, I'd bet her lawyers advised her to keep her mouth shut. https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/michael-wolff-melania-trump-slapp-ocr.pdf

In essence she re-opened the wound.

William Farrar's avatar

That she did. Again we are in agreement.

Trouble brewing in the Arab world. Could be even more turbulent than the Arab spring.

Saudi Arabia, UAE. Bahrain Jordan , Qatarhave been forced into an alliance with Israel/US because of attacks on their oil pumping stations refineries, water desalinization plants, and that because they have hosted the US Military on their soil.

And this puts them at odds with their people who are vehemently anti Israel and now US

It is a matter of time.

Thom, I believe you’re correct in now choosing to join the crowd of reporters who now get down to the nitty gritty-calling a spade(or pedophile) a spade, and using the current vernacular.

Again, thanks for your spot on comprehensive, diligent reporting.

Keep FLOTUS in the hot seat! She may be the key to expose her PEDO Epstein bff husband. Mein Fuhrer, is building a Crazy man's ballroom bunker. Deranged emit O. "Part C" for Private CON, "Automatic" sign up seniors for Medicare Advantage is bait and switch! IMHO "Penny wise, pound foolish" Private insurance companies want deregulation and NO Rules. Healthcare and Healthcare insurance for profit is the worst capitalism. Remember 2009 falsely framed Medicare reimbursement for end-of-life counseling as government-mandated "Death Panels" well that's exactly where private, for profit insurance companies-mandated denial of care coverage is going. Liar Sarah Palin about ACA. Even McCain ultimately saved the ACA. Famous thumb down.

I spent half my childhood in a rural Pennsylvania county where 65 percent of the people voted for Trump in 2024. I have been submitting letters/op-eds since then.

Healthcare could be the uniting issue. Everyone needs it, and many more are being denied.
