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.
Melania Trump could eventually be forced to the forefront of her husband’s criminal defense on felony charges — if the case ever makes it to trial.
More than a week after former President Donald Trump was indicted on 34 charges of falsifying business records, legal experts are skeptical of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case.
Legal experts comment
“I would not be surprised if you see this be a hard-fought legal battle before we even start to talk about whether they could prove this at a trial,” Joshua Ritter, a partner with El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers and a former Los Angeles County prosecutor, as per Insider.
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.
