What’s not to like with Amanda Ungaro confirming that Melania Knauss was Jeffrey Epstein’s escort & it was Epstein who introduced Melania to Trump - not Paolo Zampolli, the father of Ungaro’s son.

According to Michael Wolfe, Epstein was having sex with Melania a full year before Trump.

Amanda Ungaro (ex-girlfriend of Paolo Zampolli and mother of his son) just dropped a bombshell audio on X…

She claims Paolo Zampolli did NOT introduce Melania to Donald Trump it was Jeffrey Epstein…

“She was an escort of Jeffrey Epstein. That’s how she met Donald Trump”…

This story keeps getting wilder… 👀

Amanda Ungaro, ex-girlfriend of Paolo Zampolli and mother of his son, claims that Paolo Zampolli did NOT introduce Melania to Donald Trump. Jeffrey Epstein did:

@MeghanMcCain The Ellisons and Bari Weiss destroyed CBS. My family blocked it off our remotes so we don’t give them a dime. But G-d bless Scott Pelley for defending his co-workers and the reputation that 60 minutes once had.

Trump destroys 60 Minutes. A TV show that was the crown of television

@BostonGlobe "Slender" is overstating it

Scott Pelley: "She is murdering 60 Minutes. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that."

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

For the last 57 years, 60 Minutes has displayed some of the most courageous investigative journalism on the air.

Now, with Trump’s billionaire crony David Ellison owning CBS, that tradition is being destroyed.

This is what happens with increased oligarch control over the media.

[Variety @Variety]

#60Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley lashed out at the program’s new executive producer Nick Bolton during a Monday meeting, accusing him of “murdering ‘60 Minutes’” and having “slender qualifications for this job.”

CBS News hopes to keep Pelley and the remaining correspondents on the show, according to a person familiar with CBS News, despite these conflicts.

🚨 THE ACCUSATION JUST ESCALATED.

Media reporter Oliver Darcy says some CBS insiders no longer believe the upheaval at 60 Minutes is simply a management dispute.

They believe it's connected to a much bigger prize.

🔥 According to Darcy, insiders are drawing a direct line between the dismantling of 60 Minutes and David Ellison's effort to secure government approval for a major media merger.

The theory goes like this:

60 Minutes has become one of the most politically sensitive properties in American media.

Remove the friction. Remove the controversy. Remove the headaches.

And it becomes easier to get a deal approved.

To be clear, this is what insiders are alleging, not a proven fact.

But that's why the firings, departures, and internal revolt at 60 Minutes are generating so much attention.

Because the question is no longer:

"Why were these journalists pushed out?"

The question some inside CBS are now asking is:

"Who benefits from 60 Minutes becoming less confrontational?"

And in media, that's usually where the real story begins.
