Fact check: Are there any records of Paolo Zampolli's testimony or statements about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, there are no records of direct testimony or statements from Paolo Zampolli about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}. However, multiple sources confirm that Paolo Zampolli had documented ties to both Jeffrey Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell ^{[1] [6]}.

The sources consistently establish that Paolo Zampolli was a modeling agent who founded ID Models and played a key role in introducing Donald Trump and Melania at a New York Fashion Week party in 1998 ^{[2] [3] [4] [1]}. Additionally, Zampolli helped Melania Trump emigrate to the US ^[1] and has served as Trump's special representative for international partnerships since March 2025 ^[6].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question focuses solely on Zampolli's potential testimony, but omits several crucial contextual elements revealed in the analyses:

• Michael Wolff, a Trump biographer, made allegations in a podcast interview connecting Zampolli's ties to Epstein with his role in introducing the Trumps ^{[5] [1]}
• The Daily Beast retracted a story linking Melania Trump to Epstein, suggesting there may have been journalistic overreach or insufficient evidence in some reporting ^[5]
• Zampolli's current official role in the Trump administration as special representative for international partnerships adds political significance to any potential testimony ^[6]
• The White House has responded to claims about Melania Trump's alleged involvement in the Epstein scandal, indicating this remains an active political issue ^[6]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question appears neutral and factual in its framing, seeking specific records rather than making claims. However, it may inadvertently suggest that such testimony exists by asking about "records" rather than whether any testimony exists at all.

The question also lacks important context about why Zampolli's potential testimony would be significant - namely his documented connections to both the Epstein network and his role in the Trump-Melania relationship. Political actors and media organizations would benefit from either confirming or denying such connections, as they could significantly impact public perception of the Trump administration's ties to the Epstein scandal.

The framing could benefit from acknowledging that no direct statements from Zampolli have been found, while his connections to key figures in the Epstein case remain documented through third-party sources and allegations.
