In February 2025, four months before Amanda Ungaro was deported to Brazil, Air Mail (co-founded by former and longtime Vanity Fair EIC Graydon Carter) reported that Paolo ZAMPOLLI introduced Melania to Trump.
Two days ago, Zampolli rang up Sky News's Mark Stone (during Stone's podcast) and said he would testify under oath in front of Congress that *he* introduced Melania to Trump.
That's *very* interesting–because we now have an FBI 302 from the Epstein files, in which the interviewee/witness said, "EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP." That interview was conducted in July, 2019, less than a month before Epstein's death.
302 interviews are considered hearsay, and are thus inadmissible in court as evidence. But they can be used to impeach witnesses.
As John Reed Stark, cyber expert, law professor, and former Chief of the SEC's Office of Internet Enforcement wrote in in 2022:
“Hard to believe that the antiquated FBI Form 302 process still plays such a prominent role in federal investigations and prosecutions, given that 302's are not only created in a deliberately flawed manner, but are also replete with astoundingly obvious evidentiary defects. Using 302's instead of digital recordings of non- custodial witness interviews strikes me as not only constitutionally backwards but just plain wrong."
We don't (yet) know the identity of the witness who gave that 302 interview as part of a proffer agreement, but we do know that sex trafficker/model agent Zampolli was not only in thick with Epstein, but he is an absolute Trump loyalist.
So who is telling the truth about who facilitated Melania's introduction to Trump?
Or to put it another way: Why does someone need a COVER STORY?
