The Ragin’ Cajun walks it back…
After James Carville reportedly claimed that Melania Trump was introduced to her husband by the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the former First Lady’s legal team fired back, prompting a public apology and a podcast edit.
Carville made the accusation during a recent episode of his Politics War Room podcast with left-wing writer Judd Legum, according to the Daily Mail. The episode was titled The Epstein Connection: Trump and Melania.
Following a letter from Melania Trump’s attorney, Carville issued a statement:
“In last week’s podcast episode, we spoke with Judd Legum. After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump’s lawyer. He took issue with our title of one of the YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the First Lady.”
“We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode,” the message continued. “I also take back these statements and apologize.” The video was deleted

Similarly, in late July, The Daily Beast removed an article that contended a modeling agent connected to Epstein introduced the first lady to her husband.
“The article, which detailed claims made by author Michael Wolff on a Daily Beast podcast, was replaced with an editor’s note apologizing ‘for any confusion’ after the first lady’s lawyers contacted the lefty outlet,” The New York Post reported.
“She’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She’s introduced to Trump that way,” Wolff alleged. “Epstein knows her well.”
“After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump’s attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article. After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding,” he outlet stated.
