Amanda Ungaro Says Melania Trump Knows She Saw ‘Compromising Interactions’

Ungaro says she is ready to testify and alleges young models were introduced to wealthy figures through Paolo Zampolli's network.

  • On Saturday, former model Amanda Ungaro claimed First Lady Melania Trump is aware she "witnessed highly compromising interactions" during her two decades within the Trumps' social circle, which included Paolo Zampolli, President Donald Trump's Special Envoy for Global Partnerships.
  • Deported to Brazil in 2025, Ungaro accused Zampolli of orchestrating her removal to gain custody of their son; Zampolli has denied the allegations stemming from their relationship that ended in 2023.
  • Ungaro described flying on Jeffrey Epstein's plane in 2002 and alleged Zampolli used his proximity to Trump to facilitate visas for models; Zampolli has denied any business or social involvement with Epstein.
  • In a surprise April 9 statement, Melania Trump publicly distanced herself from Epstein, asserting she had no knowledge of his criminal activities. Ungaro expressed willingness to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
  • The 2026 Justice Department release of Epstein records intensified political pressure on the Trump administration, prompting lawmakers to cite both women while pushing for further hearings and transparency into past associations.
