Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Paolo Zampolli’s Alleged Role in the Trump-Melania Origin Story (5/23/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Epstein Chronicles. Last month, the First Lady of the United
- 0:08States of America called an impromptu press conference or speech,
- 0:13whatever you want to call it, to tell us all
- 0:16emphatically that she had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein
- 0:20and that she wasn't a victim. And at the time,
- 0:22it seemed weird because nobody was really even talking about
- 0:25Milania except for a few people. So obviously I was
- 0:28wondering what prompted her to get up there and, you know,
- 0:32start talking about Epstein. Well, it turns out that there
- 0:35was a three ZHO two interview with Adriana Ross where
- 0:39she tells the story about Milania Trump and Donald Trump
- 0:43and how they met, and it's an absolute broadside to
- 0:46the narrative we've heard from Malanya Trump and Donald Trump.
- 0:50So today we have another article from Raw Story and
- 0:54the headline Epstein's recruiter FBI note contradicts Milania' sty and
- 1:01may have triggered her panic. This article was authored by
- 1:04Jordan Green, and if you're a call, we've read through
- 1:08the whole entire three to zero two so that you
- 1:11saw what Adriana Ross or heard what Adriana Ross had
- 1:14to say for yourself and whether you choose to believe her, well,
- 1:18that's up to you. But in my opinion, something stinks
- 1:22when it comes to the story of how Milania Trump
- 1:25and Donald Trump met. Milania Trump's hastily called press briefing
- 1:30last month to emphatically deny any relationship with the late
- 1:34sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein elicited a flurry of speculation about
- 1:39who might be holding information that the first lady doesn't
- 1:42want to come out. And I know the talk was
- 1:44about Amanda Ungaro, but I have some questions about what
- 1:49she had to say, So I didn't think it was
- 1:52Amanda Ungaro that elicited this sort of reaction from Milanya.
- 1:58And it makes a whole lot more sense that it's
- 2:00the three zero two report that was given by Adriana
- 2:03Ross to the FBI. That certainly makes a lot more sense.
- 2:06And that's because it's a lot more damning. You can't
- 2:09just write it off as somebody that has, you know,
- 2:11an issue with you a beef. Oh, we had a
- 2:15falling out. Amanda Ongaro's mad because she got deported. Well,
- 2:19Adriana Ross, when she was interviewed certainly had no grip
- 2:23with Donald Trump or Milania Trump, so why would she
- 2:26bring that up. I think it has legs, and I
- 2:30think that there's a lot more here than we even know.
- 2:34A statement provided to the FBI and federal prosecutors by
- 2:37a former model who worked for Epstein as a recruiter
- 2:40for a sex trafficking enterprise appears to shed some light
- 2:44on what Milania is trying to keep under wraps. And
- 2:47you know how I tell you that the media is
- 2:50always a few weeks at least behind us. This is
- 2:52what I mean. We've already covered this, right, We've talked
- 2:57about this and how it was Adriana Ross and her
- 3:01three to two that shed light here. So I would
- 3:04expect the legacy media to start calling for a special
- 3:07council in like six months. The entry in the Epstein
- 3:12files mentioning Milanya and Donald by name focuses on a
- 3:15man at the center of the modeling industry that brought
- 3:18the Trumps together with Epstein in the late nineties and
- 3:21early two thousands. You know, the whole modeling industry is
- 3:25chock full with sick, degenerate people, and I doubt it's changed.
- 3:32I doubt they've had some kind of renaissance period, some reformation,
- 3:36same kind of scumbags. Can somebody please explain to me
- 3:40why a guy like Donald Trump wants to have a
- 3:43teen pageant that he owns. What's the return on investment there?
- 3:48I'm guessing not great. Paulo Zampolli, the modeling agent who
- 3:56reportedly arranged a visa for then Milanya Noss to come
- 3:59work in the United States, now serves as a special
- 4:02envoy for the President for a global partnership under the
- 4:05auspices of the US State Department. The Epstein administration in
- 4:10full effect. And if you're wondering why Donald Trump is
- 4:13going so bananas about keeping this under wraps, well just
- 4:18take a look. The seamless connection between the models represented
- 4:23by Zimpolly, many of them recruited from abroad to work
- 4:26in the US on visas, and the women who became
- 4:29Epstein's victims and enablers is glaringly illustrated by Adriana Muchinska,
- 4:35a Polish born model who worked for both men. And
- 4:38that's Adriana Ross. She got married and she took her
- 4:41husband's last name. Ross described meeting Epstein through Zimpoli in
- 4:47a twenty nineteen interview with the FBI and federal prosecutors
- 4:51in West Palm Beach, Florida, less than a week after
- 4:54Epstein's July twenty nineteen arrest on charges of sex trafficking
- 4:58miners A guy that pollows Zampoli and I'm sure that
- 5:02him and Jeffrey Epstein, they were just talking about, you know,
- 5:05the local fare. Have you had the caviaar have you
- 5:09had yourself some of that large grouper whatever the fuck
- 5:12these people eat. I mean, you think that's what they
- 5:14were talking about. I highly doubt it. And another thing,
- 5:19what did Polo Zampoli know and when did he know it. Wusinska,
- 5:28also known as Adriana Ross, was described in a twenty
- 5:31twenty New York Times investigation as one of four recruiters
- 5:34who worked under Glen Maxwell to procure teenage girls for
- 5:38massage appointments, which often turned into sexual assaults. Well, that's true,
- 5:43she did do that. That was her job, one of
- 5:45the core for And it's about time that people are
- 5:50hip to the fact that these women were crucial to
- 5:53what Epstein was doing. Without them, this operation doesn't run
- 5:59the way it did Muchinska was reportedly named as a
- 6:07co conspirator and granted immunity from prosecution and Epstein's widely
- 6:11criticized two thousand and eight plea bargain. Yes, she was.
- 6:15All four Core four members were given immunity, and that's
- 6:19because they didn't want them to talk. They can't control
- 6:21the blast radius if there's a bunch of people out
- 6:24here talking about what's going on. So they gave them
- 6:26a deal too, anything to make sure their buddy, Jeffrey
- 6:29Epstein remains a free man and remains abusing people. That's
- 6:32all that mattered. According to interview notes reviewed by raw Story,
- 6:39Muchinska told investigator she removed computers from Epstein's pom Beach,
- 6:43Florida mansion in two thousand and five at his request.
- 6:47Well how about that, huh Nah, coincidence. He was just
- 6:52taking those computers over to the geek squad so they
- 6:55could fix them. That's all just happened to have his
- 6:58house rated that day. Come on, coincidence? What are you
- 7:01a conspiracy theorist? But before Muchinska knew Epstein, she knew Zampoli.
- 7:09A type report of Muchinska's July twenty nineteen interview in
- 7:13West Palm Beach with two unnamed federal prosecutors and an
- 7:17unnamed FBI agent. Compiled in an official FBI document and
- 7:21released in the Epstein Files, indicates that Muchinska was interviewed
- 7:25as part of a proffer agreement, which typically provides immunity
- 7:29or leniency to an individual with information about a crime
- 7:33in exchange for complete truthfulness. They didn't even use it.
- 7:39They gave her the immunity and didn't even use her testimony.
- 7:44And then they said they had a weak case. You
- 7:47don't bring up Sarah Kellen Vickers, you don't bring up
- 7:49Adriana Ross, Leslie Groff, you don't bring them up and say, hey,
- 7:53look you're going to testify against Epstein or you're going
- 7:57to prison. They didn't do any of that, did they.
- 7:59I wonder why. The FBI report states that the individual
- 8:05whose name is redacted put Muchinska in contact with an
- 8:08agent named Paulo Zampoli, who work with ID models, and
- 8:12that it was organized for Muchinska to go to New
- 8:14York to model. The report states that Muchinska lived in
- 8:18a model's apartment because she did not have the funds
- 8:21to pay for her own apartment. That was the Epstein
- 8:24Apartments on sixty six, where Epstein would stashed all the
- 8:27girls that were engaged in the immigration fraud. The apartment
- 8:32accommodated ten people and was on the same street as
- 8:35the model agency on Barick Street. It states that Muchinska
- 8:39had an affair with the agent and that Zampoli was
- 8:42trying to buy elite models with Epstein. The next sentence
- 8:47in the typed FBI report of Muchinska's interview based on
- 8:50her profit agreement states, Epstein introduced Milanya Trump to Donald Trump. Well, well,
- 8:56well so did Muchinsky Lai. If so, then her immunity
- 9:01under that deal is no longer valid. So which is it.
- 9:06Are they going to pursue her and say she lied
- 9:08or is she telling the truth? In my opinion, she's
- 9:11telling the truth. That sentence alone would be a bombshell revelation,
- 9:16except that separate handwritten notes from the same interview confuse
- 9:20by giving contradictory information, suggesting that Muchinska told investigators that
- 9:25it was Zampoli who introduced Donald and Milania, as Zampoli
- 9:29has always maintained, Those notes only reference the person who
- 9:33made the introduction, as he the notations proceeding and immediately following.
- 9:39It suggests that he is Zampoli, considering the document, says
- 9:43he's trying to buy elite models with Jeffrey Epstein, and
- 9:46I think he's an ambassador. Now, well, let's get to
- 9:49the bottom of it. Let's bring Adrian A. Ross in
- 9:51and let's get her under oath. Seems like a pretty
- 9:55simple fix to me. Milanya has emphatically denied that Epstein
- 9:59played a mat making role, and during her April ninth
- 10:02press conference directly stated Epstein did not introduce me to
- 10:06Donald Trump. But another statement by Milanya later in the
- 10:10press conference is clearly disproven by Mucinska's FBI proffer interview.
- 10:15My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, victim statements,
- 10:20or FBI interviews surrounding the Epstein matter. The first lady said,
- 10:24what do you know another Trump who's telling lies? I'm shocked, shocked, folks.
- 10:30During the press conference, Malanya brushed aside an email she
- 10:33sent to Glenn Maxwell, Epstein's partner on October twenty third,
- 10:37two thousand and two, roughly around the same time that
- 10:40Muchinska arrived in the US as a trivial note. Yeah,
- 10:44like mister Lutnik, right, that's just trivial, inconsequential minor meetings.
- 10:51Milanya also described the email, which includes the header high,
- 10:55as a plight reply, but the documents released by the
- 10:58Department of Justice early show that it was Maxwell who
- 11:02made a polite reply to Milanya, and that Milanya initiated
- 11:06the exchange. These people are so deep in their lives
- 11:09that they actually believe it. Emails to the office of
- 11:12the first Lady seeking comment for the story went on returned.
- 11:16The FBI referred raw Story's questions about the discrepancy between
- 11:20the two documents to the Department of Justice. Emails to
- 11:24the Department of Justice went On returned. In the next
- 11:27passage of the typed interview and handwritten note detailing how
- 11:31Muchinska met Epstein leading to her eventual employment with a
- 11:34child sex trafficker, there is no contradiction. The note indicates
- 11:39that Muchinska told investigators that Epstein visited ID models during
- 11:43casting auditions for models and slipped through a portfolio where
- 11:47he saw a photo of Muchinska wearing only swim bottoms.
- 11:51The next paragraph reflects that Muchinska reported that she was
- 11:55at a nightclub with Zampoli, Epstein, and a second unidentified
- 11:59woman the woman took down Muchinska's phone number, and Muchinska
- 12:03recalled that either the woman or Epstein later called her
- 12:07with an invitation to have dinner with Epstein. Probably Sarah
- 12:11Kellen Vickers, but I'm not sure, maybe not a You
- 12:15could be either one. Zampoli could not be reached for
- 12:18comment for this story, but in a statement to The
- 12:20American Prospect last month, he said, with regard to Jeffrey Epstein,
- 12:25it's a matter of public record that he had connections
- 12:27within the fashion and modeling sector. He did visit our headquarters. However,
- 12:32any implication of involvement, collaboration, or endorsement is categorically rejected.
- 12:38Any suggestion otherwise is false and will be addressed accordingly. Okay,
- 12:43address it. Look, I don't know what the truth is,
- 12:46but I do know what I'm being bullshitting. Zampoli told
- 12:51The American Prospect he wasn't sure whether he remembered Muchinska,
- 12:54but it didn't matter because as an owner of an agency,
- 12:57he doesn't need to know every single model of his agency.
- 13:01After accepting Epstein's dinner invitation, Muchinska told investigators she took
- 13:06a tour of the residence and were aboff sexual advances
- 13:09from Epstein. As a driver took her home, she remembered
- 13:12being tearful in the car for reasons on explained in
- 13:16the interview. Muchinska accepted employment from Epstein in late two
- 13:20thousand and four. Muchinska's duties including scheduling massage appointments for Epstein,
- 13:25and one passage of the reports reflects Muchinska telling investigators
- 13:29she was not sure if the girls who massaged Epstein
- 13:32were under age, but it seemed consensual and she knew
- 13:36it was a sexual massage. I don't believe that for
- 13:38a minute. And I don't look at Adriana Ross by
- 13:42the way, as a victim. I look at her as
- 13:44part of the corps. For Muchinska's time working for Zampoli
- 13:48in New York was sensitive enough that her lawyer advised
- 13:51her during the twenty ten deposition for a civil lawsuit
- 13:54brought by one of Epstein's victims, that she should invoke
- 13:57the Fifth Amendment to preserve her right to avoid self incrimination.
- 14:01And we read through that as well. Now you see
- 14:05why we go through all those court documents. I know
- 14:07it's not the funny shit in the world. I get it,
- 14:10but we're not here for fun. I'm not here to entertain.
- 14:13I'm here to open these doors for you, so you
- 14:15understand just exactly what we're up against. During the deposition,
- 14:19Muchinska disclosed that she worked for ID Models in New
- 14:22York and that her husband put her in touch with
- 14:25the agency. When a lawyer for plaintiffs asked how long
- 14:28she worked with ID Models, Muchinska's lawyer interjected, you should
- 14:32invoke the regard to the timeframe you're talking about. Muchinska
- 14:36has not spoken to the media in the past and
- 14:38cannot be reached for this story. The House Oversight and
- 14:42Government Reform Committee James Comer is reportedly exploring the possibility
- 14:47of calling her to testify. Well, if she lied during
- 14:51that three to zero two, she should be brought in, right,
- 14:55Don't they want to protect Trump? So Comer should bring
- 14:57her in. Chinska is not the only former model who
- 15:02links Epstein to Trump's current Special Envoy for Global Partnerships.
- 15:06Another woman whose names redacted, described a work arrangement under
- 15:10Zampoli that was strikingly similar to Muchinska's during in April
- 15:14twenty twenty interview with the FBI. After signing with ID
- 15:18Models at age of eighteen. The woman said she lived
- 15:21in the model's apartment on Barrack Street. According to the document,
- 15:25according to the woman, Zompoli was sleazy and dated models.
- 15:29She said that she said at the apartment for a
- 15:31year before Zampoli let her go. Later, she was working
- 15:36at the host stand at the coffee shop at Union
- 15:38Square in Manhattan. The woman told investigators that a woman
- 15:41with an Eastern European accent approached her and invited her
- 15:45to meet Epstein, whom she described as a wealthy client.
- 15:49The document describes a massage session in which Epstein commanded
- 15:53the woman to take off her clothes and pressured her
- 15:55into non consensual sexual encounter. Later, the woman told investigators
- 16:00she had a mental breakdown, started drinking, and couldn't function.
- 16:04The statement aligns on significant points with an account given
- 16:08by a survivor known as Kiki Doe during the twenty
- 16:12nineteen interview for TV's Doctor Oz. In that interview, the
- 16:16survivor described the coffee shop as a hunting ground for
- 16:18recruiters because most of the staff were models. The Doctor
- 16:22Oz interview appears to include no mention of Zampoli, and
- 16:26Kiki Doe is said in separate interview that the model's
- 16:29apartment where she stayed was on forty second Street, as
- 16:32opposed to Erwick Street. I'm guessing sixty six is what
- 16:36she means. Met met Oz, the host of Doctor Oz,
- 16:40now serves as administrator of the Center for Medicare and
- 16:43Medicaid Services in the Trump administration. Of course, why not.
- 16:48Terry Gibbs, the attorney who represents the woman who described
- 16:52working for Zampoli at ID Models, declined a request to
- 16:55put Raw Story in touch with her client or discuss
- 16:58her statement to the FBI. While zam Polli might plausibly
- 17:02claim he doesn't remember Mucinska or the Epstein's reviver recruited
- 17:05from the coffee shop, another former model linked to Epstein
- 17:09will be harder to ignore. Amanda Onngaro, a Brazilian model
- 17:13who dated Zampoli for almost two decades and has a
- 17:16fifteen year old son with him, arrived in New York
- 17:19in two thousand and two on Epstein's private jet. Her
- 17:22modeling agent in Paris who arranged your flight was Jean
- 17:25lu Brunel, a long time Epstein associate who died of
- 17:29an apparent suicide in a Parisian prison cell in twenty
- 17:32twenty two, while awaiting trial for rape of miners and
- 17:36trafficking of miners for sexual exploitation. On Garo, who was
- 17:41deported by US Immigration, Customs and Enforcement following Zampoli's intervention
- 17:46in our case, has said she's willing to testify before
- 17:50the House Oversight Committee looking into the Epstein affair. Well,
- 17:53what are we waiting for. Let's get her up there.
- 17:57Let's see what she has to say under oath. One
- 17:59day for Malanya Trump's hastily call press conference, Hungaro wrote
- 18:03on x and a post that was subsequently deleted, something
- 18:07was clearly wrong. But I'm not part of any evil
- 18:09mission involving children. So what did you do? Malanya? You
- 18:13tried to involve me, but you failed because I have character.
- 18:17So look again, I don't know enough about Amanda Ungaro's
- 18:20story here to really get into the weeds. There's a
- 18:23lot to pick through. But when you have other corroborating information,
- 18:29and you have somebody like Adriana Ross saying this during
- 18:32a three h two profer, it carries weight. So if
- 18:36she's lying, then they should bring her in. But if
- 18:39they don't bring her in, if they don't go after her,
- 18:43then What does that tell you? It tells me that
- 18:46there's legs, and it tells me that what Adriana Ross
- 18:50said is true. And while we don't have a full
- 18:53picture yet, what we do know is pretty damning to
- 18:57the narrative that's being pitched by Milania Trump. So we'll
- 19:01have to keep an eye on it, and like usual,
- 19:03when we have more information here, we'll get it added
- 19:06to the catalog. All the information that goes with this
- 19:09episode can be found in the description box.
