According to recent reports, Melania Trump rejected an invitation to meet with First Lady Jill Biden as she and President-elect Donald Trump prepare to return to the White House at the beginning of next year. Sources familiar with the matter claim Melania’s refusal to meet with Biden stems from the 2022 FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago as a contributing factor.
While Melania did tour the White House with former First Lady Michelle Obama after the 2016 election, this time is different. “She ain’t going,” an anonymous source told the New York Post “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting. …Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet.”
In August of 2022, the FBI carried out a search warrant on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida regarding the investigation of Trump’s handling of classified material. Melania has been highly outspoken about the move, which she has described as an unnecessary invasion of her privacy. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,” Melania said in a September video statement.
The soon-to-be First Lady for the second time added, “I never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America. The FBI raided my home in Florida and searched through my personal belongings. This is not just my story; it serves as a warning to all Americans, a reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected.”
Speaking about her experience during the ordeal, Melania said, “Yeah, it made me angry. Yes. Invasion of privacy. The way it was done, I was really surprised. … I saw unpleasant stuff, that nobody wants to see it. And you get angry because, you know, nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff. Some person, I don’t even know who, or how many people, they went through my stuff.”
President-elect Trump previously slammed the raid shortly after it occurred, writing on Truth Social, “I’ll soon be heading to the scene of the unwarranted, unjust, and illegal Raid and Break-In of my home in Florida, Mar-a-Lago. I’ll be able to see for myself the results of the unnecessary ransacking of rooms and other areas of the house. It has already been proven that so much has been wrongfully taken, it is not a ‘pretty thing.’ So sad! The 4th Amendment, and much more, has been totally violated, a grave invasion of privacy. I will keep the American public informed on TRUTH!”
The American Tribune reported on other comments from Melania in which she slammed the media for the toxic atmosphere it has created around her husband. “It’s…this is not normal, and is it really shocking that all this courageous violence goes against my husband, especially that we hear the leaders from the opposition party and mainstream media branding him as a threat to democracy, calling him vile names, they only fueling a toxic atmosphere and giving power all of these people that they want to do harm to him,” she explained. “This needs to stop. This needs to stop. The country needs to unite. And I encourage everybody to read my letter that I wrote on July 14, again, because that cannot continue,” she added.
