Jimmy Kimmel, a known critic of President Donald Trump, has speculated about why Melania Trump unexpectedly addressed her ties to Jeffrey Epstein on April 9. The timing of the press conference came just days after a ceasefire between Iran and the United States was announced. Kimmel responded by questioning the timing and suggesting that she must hate the president. He also questioned whether fake images and statements about him and his wife have been circulating on social media for years.
