Reporter: I just got off a call with Trump, who said he had no prior knowledge that Melania Trump would discuss Jeffrey Epstein in her remarks today. Before we hung up, Trump said that Melania didn't know Jeffrey Epstein.

Ultra narcissistic geniuses really can’t stand being out of the limelight, if not daylight.

First he goes after the right wing punditry and now the first accent lamp goes under the bus.

...something's coming out.

All of the reporters baffled by the denials of videos or whatever she's denying here.

All eyes on Melania. She's raised the Epstein story to a new level and she's not insulated by anything that shields the president from the scandal right now.

All she's doing during the day is 'shopping' for more clothes and withdrawing money from the bank. Plently of time to be deposed.

Trump even weighed in on a phone call from a reporter, claiming she 'didn't know him.'
