Melania doth protest too much

Melania and Donald Trump’s matchmaker speaks out after her stunning speech denouncing Epstein ties… and is willing to testify under OATH about how they met

Ambassador Paolo Zampolli said Thursday that he’s ready to testify before Congress to prove that he was the individual who introduced President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump

Zampolli made the pronouncement in a phone interview with the Daily Mail after the First Lady made a stunning statement in the White House on serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein – an announcement that apparently even took the President by surprise. 

Among the comments she made, the First Lady denied rumors that it was Epstein who introduced Melania to her future husband.

‘I’m ready to testify in Congress, in front of Congress, to say who introduced the First Lady, and I’m ready to even bring another 50 witnesses to say they were present that night,’ the Italian-American diplomat said in an interview with the Daily Mail. ‘The whole world knows this. This is old news.’

The first couple, as the story goes, met at a New York Fashion Week party in September 1998 held at the Kit Kat Club and hosted by Zampolli, who at the time was a modeling agent. 

Asked about what prompted the First Lady’s shock statement, Zampolli said he believed Melania earnestly feels for Epstein’s many victims.

‘I’m sure she cares about the victims and everybody that has been a victim has a right to expose this animal,’ Zampolli told the Daily Mail. ‘I think the First Lady has the biggest heart in the world, she’s a family woman, and she’s our marvelous First Lady,’ he added.

Marc Beckman, senior adviser to the First Lady, told the Daily Mail that Melania spoke out because ‘enough is enough’ and ‘the lies must stop.’

Former modeling agent and longtime ally to President Donald Trump, Paolo Zampolli asked a top ICE official for help “to settle a personal score” and have the mother of his child deported during a custody battle, according to The New York Times.

Zampolli, a now presidential special envoy, introduced Trump to the president’s now wife Melania.

He found out that his Brazilian ex-girlfriend, Amanda Ungaro, had arrested on charges of fraud at her work and in custody at a Miami jail — and last year talked to a top official at ICE, David Venturella, to see if she could be placed in ICE detention, citing that she was in the country illegally, The Times reported.

The two had been going through a custody battle over their teenage son and “now he saw an opportunity” to try and get him back, Friday’s report stated.

A source familiar with Zampolli’s communications and records acquired by The Times revealed that Ungaro was picked up from a Miami jail by ICE agents before she could make bail and later deported. Although this could have happened without her ex-boyfriend’s involvement, it raises questions about how members of the Trump administration have used the federal government during Trump’s second term to pursue personal vendettas.

Zampolli denied to The Times that he sought special favors or that he had requested federal officials take Ungaro into custody.

The Department of Homeland Security told The Times that Ungaro was detained and deported over an expired visa after being charged with fraud.

“Any suggestion that she was arrested and removed for political reasons or favors is FALSE,” the DHS statement said.

Zampolli has often bragged about his loyalty to the Trumps, and has known the president for more than 30 years. He even recruited Melania, a former model, from Slovenia. Zampolli also had ties to the late financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“In the city’s modeling scene, Mr. Zampolli also intersected with Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who would later be accused of sexually abusing hundreds of girls and young women,” according to The Times. “The men once discussed buying a modeling agency together, and Mr. Zampolli’s name appears several times in the millions of Epstein documents recently released by the Justice Department.

“In one 2011 email, Mr. Epstein warned an Emirati businessman: ‘Be careful, zampoli is trouble. Lots.’ He added, ‘He sells stories to the press.'”

Zampolli has denied having a close friendship with Epstein. He added that his name was not included as frequently as other people, such as professors, celebrities or monarchs.

“At least I was included, because if you’re not on the list, you’re a loser, right?” Zampolli told The Times.

The following summarizes claims, allegations, and statements reported in documents, not established conclusions. Where possible, document IDs are cited. No criminal guilt is asserted.


There’s a growing online narrative weaving together some of the most controversial figures of the past three decades: Donald TrumpJeffrey Epstein, and Paolo Zampolli — and at the center of one of the more provocative claims is a relatively obscure name: Amanda Ungaro.

bekah day has done extensive research on Paolo and is actively communicating with Amanda, who has been deported by the Trump administration, for up to date information about Amanda check her posts.

Amanda Is a Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s Trafficking

Amanda Ungaro met Zampolli as a teenager.

247 Paolo Zampolli & Amanda Ungaro ...

Before that, she was introduced to John Casablancas—Zampolli’s mentor—at just 13 years old. By 15, she was being groomed by Zampolli. At 16, she was flying on Epstein’s plane alongside known predators.

Amanda and Zampolli would remain entangled for 19 years. They share a son, Giovanni. What began with exploitation escalated into long-term physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. When Amanda finally left Paolo, the retaliation began.

In June 2025, Amanda was arrested at her workplace in Miami Florida. The circumstances remain deeply troubling.

At 17, Amanda Ungaro was invited by Jean-Luc Brunel to fly to the US on Epstein’s plane:

Jeffrey Epstein Controversy

One of the most widely discussed aspects of Ungaro’s story involves her connection to Jeffrey Epstein. She has spoken publicly about a flight she took in 2002 on a private jet owned by Epstein, when she was 17 years old. According to her account, she was invited onto the flight by modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel.

The trip, which reportedly traveled from Paris to New York, left her feeling uncomfortable, as she later described the presence of several very young girls on board and an unsettling atmosphere.

Friendship was not enough:

Zampolli remains an important figure because of his association with the Trumps. Not only did he introduce Melania to Trump, he also secured her modelling and paper work. Ungaro, while being an immigrant like Melania, navigated her life in the US very differently. She stayed in America while renewing her different types of visas and unlike Melania, her dream of securing a permanent residence in the country failed as she ultimately got deported.

Threatening Melania:

‘Be Careful With Me, B**’: Melania Trump Receives Brutal Warning From Amanda Ungaro—Who Is She?

Deported Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro publicly threatened Melania Trump with legal action one day before the First Lady’s surprise White House denial of any Epstein ties.

Amanda Ungaro, the Brazilian ex-partner of one of Donald Trump’s closest associates, has publicly warned First Lady Melania Trump of legal action in a series of alarming posts on X that surfaced just hours before Mrs Trump’s unscheduled Epstein address at the White House.

Ungaro, 41, appeared to direct her messages at an archived post from the First Lady’s official account, @FLOTUS45, which featured a farewell message dated January 2021. Replying directly to that post on 9 April, Ungaro issued a string of escalating statements.

‘I have nothing left to lose in my life. I will tear down the entire system—be careful with me b**,’ she wrote. In a follow-up post, she added: ‘I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it’s the last thing I do in my life. I will go all the way—I am not afraid.’

She went further still, writing: ‘Maybe you should be afraid of what I know… of who you are, and who your husband is.’ In another post, she claimed she would ‘take legal action’ against the First Lady and her husband, before making additional unverified allegations.

Ungaro also referenced what she described as a long-standing personal connection, claiming: ‘I have known you for 20 years. You knew I was detained in ICE. You were present in my life—every year on my son’s birthday, even sending Secret Service and being the first to congratulate him, back in 2016.’
