Melania Trump, the former first lady, and wife of ex-president Donald Trump, is reportedly distancing herself from her husband amidst rumors of cheating scandals. Melania Trump did not accompany the former president to New York for his arraignment Tuesday and did not appear by his side when he gave a news conference at Mar-a-Lago that night to protest his innocence and to denounce the prosecution as politically motivated.
The controversy sparked around the hush money payment that Cohen admitted that he made to Stormy Daniels during the fall of Trump’s 2016 White House bid to keep her from coming forward about an alleged affair she had with the then-candidate. Trump has denied the affair. Previously, TMZ reported that Daniels was experiencing the impact of Trump’s potential impending arrest and reportedly strengthening her security after receiving multiple threats.
While her husband continues to host rallies and speaking engagements as part of his 2024 presidential campaign, Melania doesn’t have plans to get involved.
There has been a buzz which raise question that whether she was attempting to making a statement. An official statement has been issued on the matter, where she goes after reporters on outlets like CNN.
Official statement
“News organizations have made assumptions about the former First Lady’s stance on subjects that are personal, professional, and political over the past few weeks. In these articles, unnamed sources are cited to bolster the author’s claims,” the Office for Melania Trump tweeted.
The former first lady has remained silent about the alleged affair and the indictment. She cautioned readers to be skeptical about what they read.
“We ask readers to exercise caution and good judgment when determining whether or not stories concerning the former First Lady are accurate, particularly when they fail to cite Mrs. Trump as a source of information,” the former first lady’s office stated.
