The former first lady has not yet publicly spoken out about the 37 federal charges against her husband.
Former President Donald Trump revealed that his wife and former first lady Melania Trump was « hurt » after finding out that the Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted him.
« How does she take it? She’s hurt when the family’s hurt, » Trump said Sunday on his friend and ally Roger Stone’s radio show on WABC.
Trump became the first former president in United States history to face federal criminal charges on Thursday after he was indicted by a federal grand jury over the mishandling of confidential records that were found in Trump’s possession at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida more than a year after he left the Oval Office. The indictment, which was unsealed on Friday, revealed that the former president is facing 37 charges, including 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information. Trump, however, has maintained his innocence in the case.
Melania has not yet spoken publicly about the federal charges, but her husband said she remains by his side despite his continuing legal troubles.
During his interview with Stone, Trump called his wife « terrific » and said she has « an attitude that is amazing.
