Though Melania Trump never appeared at her husband Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York City, she apparently stood by him behind the scenes, along with their son Barron, in the aftermath of the guilty verdict.
“Everyone gathered around Trump at Trump Tower,” a source disclosed to Page Six. “It was like a funeral… There was hope all day and then none!”
It’s unclear when the model, 54, and Barron, 18, arrived at their Manhattan home, but according to the insider, they “were smuggled in through the side entrance.”
“Everyone says Melania and the entire family are rallying around the former president. But the mood is nonetheless gloomy and gloomier right now. It’s definitely viewed as a downer at Mar-a-Lago,” the source shared. “Everyone is upset. Trump talked to both Melania and all his children, including Ivanka. [But] Trump says the real verdict will take place in November when the people vote.”
“Everyone was hoping for him to get off or at least get a hung jury… the fact it happened rather quickly has everyone in a tizzy. But Trump’s friends say it’s not unexpected, and they’re prepared for the next steps, including the appeal,” the source added.
As previously reported, Donald, 77, was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business documents on Thursday, May 30.
Outside the courtroom, Donald expressed his dissatisfaction with the jury’s decision.
“The real verdict is gonna be November 5th by the people,” he stated. “And they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here.”
“We have a Soros-backed DA and the whole thing, we didn’t do a thing wrong. I’m a very innocent man,” he told reporters. “It’s okay, I’m fighting for our country, I’m fighting for our constitution.”
