Melania Trump is closely monitoring her husband Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal trial, as former aide Stephanie Grisham reveals. Grisham, who served as Melania’s chief of staff and press secretary, stated that the former first lady will be “watching every ounce” of the hush money trial, particularly focused on any proof that might emerge. This attention to detail arises as the first trial witness, ex-National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, testifies against Donald Trump.
David Pecker’s testimony has provided significant insights into the “catch and kill” schemes designed to protect Trump’s presidential campaign from potentially damaging stories, such as the alleged affairs with Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal and adult film actress Stormy Daniels, which Trump denies. Pecker’s admission of maintaining a private email for sensitive matters likely has Melania’s interest, as she is known to be vigilant about seeking proof.
Grisham noted that if more damaging information should come out, Melania’s response could be telling, especially since she often requires solid evidence for validation. Given that Trump has consistently denied the details surrounding the alleged affairs, any written proof presented during the trial could significantly influence Melania’s perspective.
Melania Trump has recently resumed her political duties, hosting a fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. This event marks her return to the campaign trail after a hiatus during the rollout of Trump’s election bid. The fundraiser followed her earlier appearance at a Florida polling place in March, indicating her increasing involvement in the political landscape.
