Survivors reject first lady’s call for Congress to hold a public hearing for survivors to testify.

First Lady Melania Trump speaks in the Cross Hall of the White House in Washington, D.C., Thursday denying any links to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his abuse. The first lady made a surprise on-camera statement to deny unspecified allegations about her and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” she said. “The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility and respect.” (Photo by Mandel Ngan / AFP via Getty Images)
