Excellent dissection, Nick. This certainly has all the hallmarks of a get out in front and of some sort incoming bad news scenario.

Wolff has been trying to serve her a subpoena for his counter suit. For months and months!

Melania is under pressure after trapping herself in the reverse lawsuit by Michael Wolff, but she is likely terrified of Amanda Ungaro who is apparently on the warpath and threatening to reveal all she knows on Brazilian tv regarding Epstein and Melania after Ungaro was detained by ICE, deported back to Brazil, and lost custody of her son due to the influence of her ex-partner and Trump loyalist Paolo Zampolli. Apparently Ungaro has been sending very angry and threatening tweets from Brazil.

Read Maureen Dowd’s column in the New York Times today where she describes Ungaro’s threat:

“Early Thursday just after midnight, Ungaro, clearly upset that Melania didn’t help her in the ICE deportation, posted threatening messages directed at her on X. One now-deleted post read: “I have nothing left to lose in my life. I will tear down the entire system — be careful with me bitch.” In another, she said: “Maybe you should be afraid of what I know … of who you are, and who your husband is.”

Melania’s statement came later that day, but who knows if there’s any connection?”

The allegations surrounding Ungaro are similar to those leveled by Wolff and relate to Trump’s and Epstein’s involvement in the modeling business. At this point it is difficult to say with certainty whether it was Ungaro or Wollf that caused Melania to have her so-called “press conference,” in which the press was not allowed to ask questions.

Also, based on the obvious fact she was reading a statement written by someone else and that it related to the Epstein issue, it is hard to believe Donald Trump or anyone else in the White House was ignorant that she was going to publicly read that statement.

Yes, one can't be 100% certain what triggered Melania to give her bizarre press conference, but the Ungaro threats appearing so closely beforehand do raise suspicions. The rumours are that Donald and the WH were ignorant regarding the details of what Melania was going to talk about...it makes no sense they would approve her ripping the scab off of Epstein cover-up again during a period of relative quiet due to Iran. Hope Wolff wins right to depose Melania in NY.
