Former President Donald Trump has revealed what former first lady Melania Trump thinks of his trial in New York in remarks during a break from proceedings in court this morning via AOL.
It has been noted that The former president is currently on trial for civil fraud charges brought against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James. His co-defendants include his two adult sons, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, as well as his eponymous company, the Trump Organization, and senior associates.
Meanwhile, before the bench trial began, Justice Arthur Engoron ruled that fraud had been committed by the defendants whom the attorney general’s office accused of grossly inflating the value of assets and Trump’s own net worth to secure loans from financial institutions on more favorable terms.
The defendants have pleaded not guilty and the former president has been especially vocal claiming the case should never have been brought. Now, thanks to comments captured by videographer Kyle Mazza of News12 New Jersey, the former first lady’s apparent thoughts on the case are known.
Asked what his wife thinks about the case, Trump replied: “She thinks it’s a total disgrace, she thinks it’s very, very unfair, and all that it is is election interference.”
After decamping from their winter home at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida — the epicentre of one of the federal cases against Trump — the former president has spent much of the summer at his golf club at Bedminster, New Jersey.
People reported in August that Ms. Trump, spent the majority of the summer in Manhattan. She has not been at his side during any of the appearances or campaign events surrounding his indictments.
Citing a “social source”, People said: “Melania publicly supports her husband but privately prefers a life with 100 per cent privacy and no press scrutiny.”
“She knows how her husband is but still believes there has been too much dumping on him and wants nothing to do with any of it,” the source continues.
“She hates all of the legal problems and says very little about them anytime anywhere. She leads her own life.”
