Melania Trump issued a surprise statement in April categorically denying any personal or professional ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The former First Lady's advisor stated that she aimed to support survivors by advocating for their right to testify under oath before Congress.
The speech elicited a divided response, with some survivors criticizing the approach while other political figures praised her for seeking justice.
The address occurred amidst ongoing tensions over the release of classified investigative files by the Department of Justice.
