It seemed like too much of an online celebrity spat for me to post it, but yes... "people are saying" Ungaro's recent expletive laden outburst about Melania was the cause for Melania to speak out. Ungaro and her then-boyfriend Zampolli attended Trump's first inaugural, but she has now been deported to Brazil. Oh, and now it appears Ungaro will appear in a newspaper article.
Paolo Zampolli, appointed last year by the president to be special representative for global partnerships at the United Nations, said reports that the first couple were introduced by the late sex offender were “totally nonsense”.
The House oversight committee has subpoenaed a number of Epstein associates to appear before its members to answer questions about what they knew of his sex-trafficking ring. Zampolli’s intervention came
on the eve of the anticipated publication of an interview that his former girlfriend Amanda Ungaro, a Brazilian model and former friend of Mrs Trump’s, gave to the Spanish newspaper El País.
Zampolli’s name appears several times in documents related to the Epstein investigation, though he is not accused of wrongdoing.
He said last month that he did not have a close relationship with Epstein. “At least I was included, because if you’re not on the list, you’re a loser, right?” he said. [gross]
