Juliette Bryant, a woman identified as a survivor of the late Jeffrey Epstein, released a direct video statement addressing First Lady Melania Trump on Monday.
The message comes as a response to recent reports regarding the First Lady’s views on legal proceedings involving Epstein’s associates.
Bryant identified herself as a survivor before directly addressing the First Lady's alleged call for witnesses to provide testimony under oath.
"You want girls to testify under oath, well here I am testifying that everything I said is true," Bryant said in the recorded message.
The survivor expressed concern over the safety of those who have come forward in the past, noting that some witnesses are no longer alive.
Bryant then extended a challenge to the White House, suggesting that both the First Lady and President Donald Trump should provide their own testimony.
"Maybe it’s time that you and your husband testify too," she concluded in the video clip that has gained significant traction online.
The statement has quickly circulated across social media platforms, sparking renewed discussion regarding the administration's historical links to the financier.
President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were known to have moved in similar social circles in New York and Florida during the 1990s.
While the President has previously distanced himself from Epstein's actions, the public continues to scrutinize the extent of their past relationship.
First Lady Melania Trump has not yet commented on Bryant’s specific remarks or the request for her participation in legal inquiries.
Legal experts suggest that while Bryant’s statement is a public challenge, it does not carry the weight of a formal subpoena.
Advocacy groups for survivors of human trafficking have praised Bryant for her transparency and bravery in coming forward so publicly.
The White House press office has not scheduled a briefing to address the matter as of Monday afternoon.
Observers remain focused on whether this latest development will prompt a shift in the administration's official stance on the investigation.
The ongoing nature of these cases ensures that such statements remain a point of significant national interest and debate.
