U.S. First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday firmly denied any personal or professional connection to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, calling circulating claims "false" and damaging to her reputation.

Speaking during a rare public appearance at the White House, Trump addressed long-running speculation linking her to Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. She

stated unequivocally that she had never maintained a relationship with either individual and dismissed the allegations as fabrications.

"The lies linking me with Jeffrey Epstein need to end," she said, emphasizing that she was neither involved in nor aware of any of Epstein's criminal activities. Trump added that any suggestion otherwise was defamatory and misleading.

She further clarified that her only encounter with Epstein occurred briefly at a social event in 2000, where she attended alongside her future husband, Donald Trump. According to her account, she had no prior knowledge of Epstein at the time and did not interact with him beyond that occasion.

Addressing online speculation, the first lady warned against misinformation გავრცელ across social media platforms. She described widely shared images and narratives tying her to Epstein as entirely fabricated, urging the public to scrutinize such content carefully.

"I was never involved in any capacity," she said. "I am not a witness, a participant, or connected in any way to his crimes."

Michael J. Fox reassured his fans on Wednesday night that he is very much alive after CNN accidentally published a pre-prepared obituary. The news network released an article and video titled "Remembering the life of Michael J. Fox" on Tuesday due to a technical error. CNN has since removed the content and issued an apology to the "Back to the Future" star and his family, explaining that preparing such tributes in advance is a standard industry practice.

But Fox appeared to take the news of his death with a touch of humor, writing on Threads, "How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?”

He offered a few options, which included changing the channel and calling his wife. One suggestion included, "relax, they do this once every year."

"I thought the world was ending, but apparently it's just me and I'm OK," Fox wrote.

A light went out too quickly.

Michael Patrick, an Irish actor recognized for his work on stage and in television, died after a three-year fight with Motor Neuron Disease (MND), according to his wife Naomi Sheehan on social media. He was 35.

In an April 8 post, Naomi stated that Michael "passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends" after ten days in the hospital, adding, "Words can't describe how broken-hearted we are."

MND includes numerous neurological illnesses, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), in which the body's motor neurons degenerate prematurely, causing problems breathing, swallowing, talking, and walking. There is currently no cure.

"It's been remarked more than often," Naomi said in her tribute, "that Mick was an inspiration to everyone who was fortunate enough to come into contact with him, not just in the last few years throughout his illness, but every day of his life." He lived the fullest life that any human being can. Joy, wealth of energy, contagious laughter. "A giant with ginger hair."
