In a bizarre and baseless outburst, New Mexico Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury is accusing the White House of “covering up” President Donald Trump’s supposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein — even though no credible evidence has ever linked Trump to Epstein’s criminal acts, and years of investigations under Democrat-led agencies have produced nothing to the contrary.
Appearing on TMZ Live on Wednesday, Stansbury claimed a newly released batch of Epstein-related emails proved “the White House is trying to cover up Donald Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.” She pointed to one message, allegedly sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, reading:
“I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. [VICTIM REDACTED] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.”
From that vague and decades-old email, Stansbury jumped to wild conclusions — speculating about “police involvement” and accusing the Trump administration of hiding evidence. She went so far as to allege officials are “threatening Republicans to remove their signatures” from a discharge petition demanding full release of Epstein-related materials.
Stansbury’s rant quickly drew ridicule from journalists and commentators across the spectrum. Newsmax host Rob Schmitt blasted her conspiracy-laden tirade on X, writing:
“The usual clowns with more bulls**t. The name of the victim Trump spent ‘hours with’ was redacted by Dems. This was done intentionally. It’s Virginia Giuffre, her identity was unmasked by Republicans. Why did Dems conceal her ID??? Because Giuffre praised Trump in her book as having done nothing wrong. These people are animals.”
Schmitt’s post refers to Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent Epstein accuser, who has publicly stated that Donald Trump never acted inappropriately toward her. In fact, Giuffre wrote in her 2015 memoir that Trump was “a good guy” and that she had “never seen him act improperly toward anyone.” Even the FBI — under Democrat administrations — never found an iota of evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s trafficking ring.
Trump himself cut ties with Epstein long before his arrest. As The Associated Press reported, the future president banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago Club after learning Epstein had attempted to recruit one of the club’s employees. “I’m not a fan of Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump told reporters years before Epstein’s death. Multiple witnesses have confirmed Trump severed contact with Epstein once his disturbing behavior came to light.
Despite that history, Stansbury — who has a reputation for far-left activism — continues to spin the theory that Trump somehow escaped accountability through an elaborate White House “cover-up.” Her remarks come as Democrats attempt to weaponize the release of selective Epstein documents to smear political opponents. Notably, these same Democrats control both the Department of Justice and the FBI — agencies that have had full access to Epstein’s materials for years. If any connection between Trump and Epstein existed, it would have been exposed long ago by political operatives eager to destroy him.
Instead, after years of investigations and thousands of pages of records, there is still zero evidence tying Donald Trump to any criminal conduct. On the contrary, records show Trump assisted prosecutors in the original 2009 case against Epstein and was one of the few high-profile figures who refused to associate with him once allegations surfaced.
Critics say Stansbury’s latest claims are just another desperate attempt to revive long-debunked conspiracy theories to distract from her party’s failures. “This is what happens when Democrats have no record to run on,” one GOP strategist noted. “They invent stories about Trump to keep their base angry.”
The facts remain clear: Trump cut ties with Epstein nearly two decades ago, cooperated with investigators, and has never been accused — let alone charged — with any wrongdoing related to Epstein. Stansbury’s comments are nothing more than the latest chapter in the left’s endless obsession with manufacturing scandals where none exist.
Sue the desparate B for defamation!!!
Before: “Russia, Russia, Russia.
“Now: Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.”
Come on,, Stansbury, think! If there was any truth to Trump being involved in Epstein’s sex crimes, the Dems would’ve used it years ago.
the three pieces of crap from NM , gabe melanie and teresa voted in the house of representatives last night to keep the govt shut down. local news and radio wont report that . WHY ? quit covering for these losers and keeping people stupid ABQ media outlets.
SHE IS NOT NORMAL. just like her sign said
She is a prime example of the incompetence and lunacy of our entire congressional delegation. You get what you vote for and the majority of NM voters seem to like incompetent fools.
In today’s world the use of social media for attention getting is part of the game. She knows these stunts keep her name out there and low info voters don’t care about the truth.
Can anybody confirm Stansbury’s and Legere Fernandez connections to Gizilene Maxwell …we have heard they both worked for her. It would have been interesting if Levin was aware of this.
The Dems are so onto the Epstein/Trump crap. If Trump was guilty of anything they would have released it when the had a “super majority” over the last few years. And another thing, why did her party block the Feds from doing a proper and through investigation of the Zorro Ranch in Stanley, NM????
Prime example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Prime example: James Comey, Mark Smith, Lawfare pure plain and simple. DEM. B.S.
Attorney Jeffrey Childers from Coffee & Covid has a great analysis on the Republicans and Democrats voting to release the names of Epstein’s “list”. Check out today’s post: https://open.substack.com/pub/coffeeandcovid/p/swamp-critters-thursday-november?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
Stransbury needs a complete mental exam to see if there is any upstairs.
EverY Democrat in Washington DC needs to be investigated by the Justice Department and the FBI.
Federal “sealed indictments” compiled on Pacer over a series of years will be opened soon, if not already in process. Per capita, NM is about 4th. Hard to know for certain because each one may contain up to 99 names. The wild west.
Rep Tim Buchetts pushed to getvthe Epstiens files onrobthe house floor
Amazingly Dems blocked it.
Did the DNC spent the last 4 years, desperate to hang Trump out to dry, for real or imagined crimes… scrubbing all of their deviants from the Epstein files? They had 100% control of a corrupt DOJ and FBI.. so why didn’t they stop Trump from a landslide win when they knew Harris had ZERO chance of winnng? And, yesterday, this happened!! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=25021208677531847
It’s clear that Stansbury, who was “appointed” not originally elected to her post, has nothing of substance to offer on any subject. Her only contribution is grandstanding to show off her TDS. Time to elect an actual representative!
You know when Democrats smile they are lying and show how stupid they really are the people who represent NM are as dumb as a bag of Hammers
She’s made a name for herself and its nothing to be proud of. Vote her out.😁
@Tijerandy – go back and look at Stansbury and Leger’s CFIS documents. Public documents. Both of them worked for TerraMar, Maxwell’s fake money laundering corporation. It has been proven that TerraMar “did” nothing concrete. Maxwell gave presentations for investors…that’s all. And the presentations were likely a front to get the rich and powerful in the same room. Stansbury tried to lie by saying her CFIS was a typo. Really? She signed it as fact twice in a row!
Neither has answered for why Maxwell’s corporation is on their campaign finance reports or what they did for that money.

‘Lonely girl‘ Stansbury seems more and more perverse the further she(it) gets from being a helpmeet and mother.
