Melania Trump fires back at press after prolonged public absenceBy Jesse O’Neill
April 11, 2023
Former first lady Melania Trump’s office warned the public Tuesday not to believe speculation on her “personal, professional, and political” stances, two days after she appeared in public with former President Donald Trump for the first time since his arrest.
Melania, 52, accompanied her husband, 76, to Easter brunch at Mar-a-Lago Sunday, and broke her silence online one week after the 45th president was charged with 34 felony counts of business fraud by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
The charges are related to hush-money payments by Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen to keep adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal quiet about liaisons they claim to have had with the real estate mogul.
Melania did not accompany her husband to New York for his arraignment April 4, and the former president failed to mention her that night when he thanked other family members for their support during the ordeal.
Page Six reported Monday that Melania’s Easter reappearance came after Donald pleaded with his wife to be by his side as he seeks a return to the presidency.
