First Lady Melania Trump scored another scalp after Democrat veteran strategist James Carville was forced to take down a podcast in which he alleges she’s connected to Jeffrey Epstein and to issue an apology to her.
In a post on X on Thursday, Trump shared a screenshot of an apology from Carville for comments he made on his “Politics War Room” podcast with Al Hunt in a video titled, “The Epstein Connection: Trump and Melania.”

“In last week’s podcast, we spoke with Judd Legum,” a message on the shared screenshot read. “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,” the message added. “I also take back these statements and apologize.”
Unfortunately, with the clip and comments removed, we can’t report exactly what Carville said. However, some people shared comments on X about what was reportedly said.
“Carville told the audience of his podcast that Donald and Melania met via Jeffrey Epstein, which is a total LIE,” one person wrote.
Another person shared a clip of Carville’s comments from one of the shows:
“To me, a key figure in this is Melania. I think that is at the bottom of what they don’t want to get out, cause it was all modeling agencies.”
Melania included a second post on X about the Daily Beast recently retracting their article alleging some kind of link between the First Lady and Epstein.
“Daily Beast Apologies and Retracts Article Alleging a Melania Trump-Jeffrey Epstein Link,” the post read.

It comes after Melania recently appeared to hit back against haters following the Wall Street Journal’s alleged scoop about President Donald Trump and his relationship with Epstein, RedState reported.
In a post on X by the official account for Melania, the First Lady appeared to do several things. Number 1. Throw her support behind her husband, whom she writes about in loving terms. 2. Push back against those on the left who think Epstein was the person who introduced President Trump and Melania. And 3. Make it crystal clear that she has no time for their hate as a #1 New York Times Bestseller.

“#1 New York Times Bestseller, “Melania” || How I Met Donald Trump,” Melania’s post read, referencing a chapter in her bestselling memoir titled “Melania” that was released in 2024. The post also includes a link to her website.
It went on:
The post included a screenshot of two pages in Chapter 5, starting with her retelling the story about the night she met Trump on a Friday night in September 1998, pointing out she didn’t even want to go out that evening when a friend invited her to join her, but decided it was silly to stay home.
The timing of the post wasn’t missed by many, considering it came within 24 hours of the “exclusive” WSJ report involving Trump and Epstein.
As my colleague Joe Cunningham reported, the “scoop” involved a “bawdy” birthday card allegedly sent by Trump to Epstein back in 2003 for his 50th birthday. Trump has labeled that story as fake news.
