Melania would have still been a Knauss at the time – her maiden name. She and Donald Trump married in 2005.
In the email, where she calls Maxwell “G,” Melania mentions the now infamous New York magazine profile of Epstein, in which Donald Trump famously said the billionaire pedophile liked women “on the younger side.”
The latest Epstein files dump on Friday included an email exchange between Melania Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell. REUTERS“Dear GI How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture,” she wrote. “I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania”
Maxwell responded, calling Melania “sweet pea.”
“Sweet pea – thanks for your message. Actually plans changed again and I am now on my way back to NY. I leave again on Fri so I still do not think I have time to see you sadly. I will try and call though,” she wrote.
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein had a falling out in the early 2000s. But, at the time of the email, were believed to still be friends. In fact, in November 2002, Trump, Maxwell, Melania Knauss and model Naomi Campbell appeared in a photo together at an opening of a Dolce & Gabbana store in New York.

“Some journalists working a lead on a melania boyfriend,” Epstein wrote to Wolff.

It’s unclear what Epstein was referring to. He used a lot of coded language, bad grammar and spelling mistakes.
