<p>Former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin warned on Tuesday that it could be risky for prosecutors to put former first lady <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/melania-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melania Trump</a> on the stand in her husband&#8217;s Manhattan hush-money trial.</p>
<p>Because the case centers on hush money allegedly paid by former President Donald Trump to ex-porn star Stormy Daniels to keep an alleged affair quiet, Hostin argued that the right response from Melania Trump could create reasonable doubt for the jury.</p>

<p>&#8220;I will say this. New York has this marital communications law, spousal privilege, and so he would have to waive that privilege for her to testify and I don&#8217;t think he would do that,&#8221; Hostin explained. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he wants her to testify, I don&#8217;t think he wants to put her through that, I don&#8217;t think she wants to be put through that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So I can&#8217;t imagine the prosecution would call her, because that is really a gamble,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Because if she says on the witness stand, you know, &#8216;He told me that the affair — was not true, and I believe him&#8217; &#8230; you&#8217;re going to have at least one juror on that jury saying, well, if she doesn&#8217;t care, why should I? And so I just think it&#8217;s such a big gamble, I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s going to waive his privilege to put her on the witness stand, and — I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;s going to testify.&#8221;</p>

<p>During the first two days of the trial, a handful of jurors were selected and Trump&#8217;s attorneys made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-may-be-forced-to-miss-his-own-scotus-hearing-sons-graduation-due-to-hush-money-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">several requests</a> related to the trial schedule. Judge Juan Merchan denied their request for the former president to be excused from court in order to be in attendance when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on presidential immunity. Merchan did not give a final answer regarding Barron Trump&#8217;s graduation ceremony — which is scheduled for mid-May &#8212; but told Trump&#8217;s team that it would depend on whether things were proceeding on time.</p>

<p>Amalija Knavs, mother of former first lady <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/melania-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melania Trump</a>, has died. She was 78 years old.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija,&#8221; Melania Trump said in a statement. &#8220;Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law,&#8221; she added. &#8220;We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy.&#8221;</p>

<p>Knavs was born in Slovenia in 1945 while the country was under communist rule and later married her husband Viktor. Amalija was a textile worker while Viktor was a car dealer.</p>
<p>Former President Donald Trump <a href="https://people.com/amalija-knavs-melania-trump-mother-dead-8421380" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at his New Year&#8217;s Eve event at Mar-a-Lago that his wife was absent from the family&#8217;s Christmas and New Year&#8217;s celebrations because she was visiting her mother.</p>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-8" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">&#8220;Melania — great first lady, so popular, the people love her — she&#8217;s now in a hospital with her mother. Her mother, Amalija, is very ill, but hopefully she&#8217;ll be recovering,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;But she&#8217;s been very ill, so I just want to say &#8216;hello&#8217; to the first lady — we just spoke, down in Miami, great hospital — and hopefully they&#8217;ll be ok. But it&#8217;s a tough one, it&#8217;s a very tough one. She knows probably about 95% of the people in this room. We just want to wish Amalija that she gets better as quickly as possible.”</p>

<p>Critics attacked former President Donald Trump when they noticed that former First Lady Melania Trump was missing from the family Christmas photo — but Trump <a href="https://pagesix.com/2024/01/01/celebrity-news/donald-trump-confirms-melanias-mother-amalija-is-very-ill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed the reason</a> for her absence during his New Year&#8217;s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago.</p>
<p>Taking the microphone and addressing party-goers, Trump announced that he had just gotten off the phone with Melania — who was at a Miami hospital with her mother, Amalija Knavs.</p>

<p>The former First Lady has reportedly been at her mother&#8217;s side since before Christmas, which was why she did not appear in the family photo. A source close to Melania Trump told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/melania-trump-spends-christmas-ailing-mother?intcmp=tw_pols" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a> that the former First Lady had always been very close with her family, adding, &#8220;It should be no surprise that she spent this Christmas with her ailing mother.&#8221;</p>
<p>But that did not stop critics and media outlets from speculating about all the possible reasons — up to and including claims that she couldn&#8217;t no longer stand her own husband — that she might have missed the moment.</p>

Critics Slammed Trump After Melania Missed Christmas Photo — He Just Confirmed The Reason Why

Mar-a-Lago

New Year's

<p>First Lady Jill Biden and the White House were blasted for what&#8217;s been called a &#8220;bizarre,&#8221; &#8220;freaky,&#8221; and &#8220;cringey&#8221; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0z1oNluTbT/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House Christmas Video</a> — which many have compared to something one might see coming out of the Capitol District in the &#8220;Hunger Games&#8221; movies.</p>
<p>The first lady started trending on <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/14/news/jill-biden-christmas-video-mocked-for-clockwork-orange-look/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a> on Thursday after she released the video — which featured a dance group tapping wildly all throughout the White House and wearing strange, over-the-top costumes.  She captioned her post, &#8220;A bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite. Enjoy!&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.dorrancedance.com/anti-racism-action-for-justice-change" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York City</a>-based dance group&#8217;s website, they encourage support of groups like Black Lives Matter and push support for a group called &#8220;Showing Up For Racial Justice&#8221; that &#8220;moves white people to act as part of a multi-racial majority for justice.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;My husband achieved tremendous success in his first administration, and he can lead us toward greatness and prosperity once again,&#8221; the former first lady <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/melania-supports-trump-2024-campaign-would-prioritize-childrens-initiatives-if-first-lady-for-a-second-term" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Fox News</a>. &#8220;He has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Donald Trump, the nation&#8217;s 45th president, seeks a second term in office as President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> faces <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/07/biden-polling-approval-rating-trump-00095699" target="_blank" rel="noopener">low poll numbers</a>. Ahead of what may be a 2020 rematch, Trump is facing a flurry of high-profile investigations, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/manhattan-da-moves-to-restrict-trumps-access-to-some-evidence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a case in Manhattan</a> in which he became the first former U.S. president to be criminally charged. Still, polls examining the 2024 election <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">generally show</a> Trump with a significant lead over the rest of the GOP primary field. The next closest Republican is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has not announced a campaign but <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ron-desantis-set-jump-2024-presidential-fray-may-rcna81666" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly is moving in that direction</a>.</p>
<p>Typically not very outspoken in the political sphere, Melania Trump made an appearance in November when she <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?524197-1/president-trumps-2024-campaign-announcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">walked into a Mar-a-Lago ballroom</a> holding Donald Trump&#8217;s hand before he announced his re-election campaign.</p>
<p>As first lady, Melania Trump started the <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/bebest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Be Best&#8221; initiative</a> to promote children&#8217;s health. She expanded efforts with <a href="https://melaniatrump.com/fostering-the-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Fostering the Future,&#8221;</a> a project geared toward providing scholarships to foster children. With May being Foster Care Month, Melania Trump shared on Twitter insights into her work as well as photos.</p>

<p>The former first lady&#8217;s office on Tuesday released a statement on <a href="https://twitter.com/OfficeofMelania/status/1645763657622487040?s=20">Twitter</a> hitting back at speculation about her absence at both events.</p>
<p>&#8220;News organizations have made assumptions about the former First Lady&#8217;s stance on subjects that are personal, professional, and political over the past few weeks,&#8221; the first part of the statement read. &#8220;In these articles, unnamed sources are cited to bolster the author&#8217;s claims.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We ask readers to exercise caution and good judgment when determining whether or not stories concerning the former First Lady are accurate, particularly when they fail to cite Mrs. Trump as a source of information,&#8221; the statement concluded.</p>

<p>The comments were the first public ones the former FLOTUS reps have made since Mr. Trump flew to Manhattan on April 4, where he was arrested and arraigned on criminal charges.</p>
<p>After Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-indicted-on-34-felony-counts-of-conspiracy-falsifying-business-records-pleads-not-guilty">pleaded not guilty</a> to 34 felonies, he flew back to Florida and delivered a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-delivers-feisty-mar-a-lago-speech-after-new-york-arraignment">fiery speech</a> from his Mar-a-Lago estate slamming the charges.</p>
<p>Headlines pointed out that Melania was nowhere to be seen during her husband&#8217;s trip to New York and was noticeably absent during the speech in Florida that followed.</p>
<p>Former Melania aide Stephanie Winston Wolkoff told <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/04/05/melania-trump-lives-in-an-ivory-tower-of-denial-source/">Page Six</a> that the former first lady &#8220;lives in an ivory tower of denial.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I never expected to see her there,&#8221; the former aide explained. &#8220;Her silence is deliberate, it is her weapon of choice and her protective armor. Of course she knows about Donald&#8217;s affairs, she knows everything. But her silence is her dignity.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She will stand by her husband, as she always does,&#8221; Wolkoff added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think Melania is humiliated by his affairs — but she is angry. Still she isn&#8217;t leaving him.&#8221;</p>

Melania Trump Slams ‘Unnamed Sources’ Claiming To Know Her Reactions To Trump’s Arrest, Arraignment Speech

Celebrities

U.S.

<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> (R) reportedly threw his wife Melania Trump under the bus Wednesday after the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz lost against the incredibly weak Democrat nominee, John Fetterman.</p>
<p>&#8220;Trump is indeed furious this morning, particularly about Mehmet Oz,&#8221; a quote in a Fox News report <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-furious-over-oz-losing-pennsylvania-blames-wife-melania-endorsement-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;and is blaming everyone who advised him to back Oz – including his wife, describing it as not her best decision.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There are people pushing Trump to reschedule his announcement next week, and several Rs have texted asking whether he will, but it’s risky and would be acknowledging he’s wounded by yesterday, something that some of his advisers insist is not the case,&#8221; the quote continued. &#8220;Worth remembering that Trump is a grown man who endorsed Oz over the objection of some of the people closest to him, and instead went beyond just endorsing and attacked Dave McCormick from the stage at a rally.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump has spent the day blaming others for many of his key candidates either losing or struggling to win their races, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-attacks-republican-u-s-senate-nominee-don-bolduc-for-losing-after-trump-endorsed-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blaming the candidates</a> themselves for not embracing conspiracy theories. He even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-celebrates-republicans-losing-key-u-s-senate-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrated</a> Republicans losing a key U.S. Senate race.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-boasts-of-big-victory-for-his-candidates-hes-leaving-something-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bulk of the winners</a> in the races Trump endorsed came from safely Republican districts, with 16 of the candidates actually having run uncontested. Election results also show that 13 Trump-endorsed candidates lost in highly competitive or closely watched races. Of the 219 wins referenced by Trump, only around a dozen of those races were extremely competitive.</p>
<p>Trump has also spent the day trying to downplay the historic night that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) had in his re-election, suggesting that the votes he got in the presidential race were more impressive than the votes DeSantis got in a gubernatorial race even though DeSantis&#8217; margin of victory was roughly 6X larger than Trump&#8217;s.</p>
<p>“Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million?” Trump said on social media. “Just asking?”</p>
<p>Comparing turnout for midterm elections to turnout for presidential elections may not be instructive, as voter participation in presidential elections is always higher. A more useful comparison could be margin of victory.</p>
<p>In 2020, Trump won the state by 3.3 points or 371,686 votes. DeSantis won the state last night by 19.4 points or 1,507,081 votes</p>
<p>DeSantis won 62 of Florida’s 67 counties, including 59 counties by double digits. DeSantis won Miami-Dade County, the largest county in the state and a Democrat stronghold, by 11 points. He won Palm Beach County, the third largest county in the state and another Democrat stronghold, by three points.</p>

<p>Something very interesting happened last week when President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> and first lady Jill Biden flew down to Florida to witness firsthand the damage done by Hurricane Ian.</p>
<p>No, it wasn&#8217;t that Biden toured with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, a possible preview of the 2024 presidential contest.</p>
<p>It was Jill Biden&#8217;s shoes.</p>
<p>An eagle-eyed Twitterer caught the fact that Jill Biden was wearing high heels on the tour, posting a picture of her along with one of former first lady Melania Trump, who also wore heels when she toured damage in Texas during her husband&#8217;s term.</p>
<p>&#8220;Only one of these photos garnered wall to wall press coverage about the First Lady’s outfit choice,&#8221; Ben Goldey <a href="https://twitter.com/BenGoldey/status/1577690424738709505">tweeted</a>.</p>
<p>No one said a word about Jill&#8217;s shoe choice, but hoo boy did the media go crazy when Melania wore them.</p>
<p>“Melania Trump, Off to Texas, Finds Herself on Thin Heels,&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/fashion/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels-texas.html">wrote</a> on August 29, 2017.</p>
<p>&#8220;When is a shoe not just a shoe?&#8221; Vanessa Friedman wrote.</p>
<p>&#8220;When it is a pair of very high, needle-thin heels worn by the first lady of the United States on her way to the site of a natural disaster. Then it becomes a symbol for what many see as the disconnect between the Trump administration and reality; another example of the way in which this president and his family continue to define &#8216;appropriate&#8217; their own way; and an excuse for partisan name-calling,&#8221; she wrote.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-stilettos">Vogue</a> piled on in a piece headlined: “Melania Trump’s Hurricane Stilettos, and the White House’s Continual Failure to Understand Optics.”</p>
<p>&#8220;While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water, desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommends that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land,&#8221; Lynn Yaeger wrote.</p>
<p>It went on and on.</p>
<p>“Melania Trump Gets Backlash for Wearing Heels to Help Hurricane Victims,&#8221; Harper’s Bazaar <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a12119130/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels-backlash/">wrote</a>. “Melania Trump Wears Her Stilettos to Tour Houston Flood Zone, No Joke,&#8221; Hollywood Reporter <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/melania-trump-stilettos-houston-flood-zone-1033584/">wrote</a>.</p>
<p>And writer Kenzie Bryant <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/melania-trump-hurricane-harvey-heels">wrote</a> in Vanity Fair, &#8220;Who Wears Stilettos to a Hurricane? Melania Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Bryant&#8217;s piece included an &#8220;update&#8221; (not correction, mind you). &#8220;Update (August 29, 2017 at 1:12 p.m.): Melania Trump changed en route into more sensible footwear&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
<p>So wait, she wore heels walking from the White House to the Marine One helicopter on the South Lawn and changed her footwear on Air Force One?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right. She changed her whole outfit and donned a pair of white Adidas sneakers for the hurricane damage tour, according to Inside Edition.</p>
<p>What is most interesting about it all is that Jill Biden got very different coverage, showing the double standard of the liberal media.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Melania Trump Criticized for Wearing High Heels as She Left for Texas" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bwjQL2xqlys?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;Jill Biden Gets Sharply Suited With Striped Bow Pumps for Florida Visit After Hurricane Ian,&#8221; Footwear News <a href="https://footwearnews.com/2022/fashion/womens/jill-biden-ron-desantis-bow-pumps-hurricane-ian-florida-1203354122/">wrote</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;When it came to footwear, Biden completed her look with a set of whimsical pumps. Her pointed-toe style — now a signature of hers as the first lady — appeared to feature pink and yellow floral uppers with a ruched texture, triangular toes,&#8221; the site wrote.</p>
<p>But the conservative site The Free Beacon gave Jill the Melania <a href="https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/jill-bided-hurricane-heel-scandal/">treatment</a>. &#8220;Who Wears Heels to a Hurricane? Dr. Jill Biden,&#8221; the headline said. &#8220;Tone-deaf doesn&#8217;t even begin to describe the first lady&#8217;s wardrobe choice,&#8221; said the subhead.</p>
<p>The piece also included its own &#8220;update&#8221;: &#8220;UPDATE: Dr. Jill was still wearing the same flashy heels after landing in Florida to survey the hurricane damage. (At least Melania had the decency to change into sneakers.) By contrast, Gov. Ron DeSantis&#8217; (R., Fla.) wife Casey wore sensible flats.&#8221;</p>
<p>So to sum up, Jill Biden actually wore high heels to tour hurricane damage while Melania Trump just wore them on the helicopter and plane before changing into &#8220;sensible footwear&#8221; &#8212; and the media blew up Melania!?</p>
<p>Same as it ever was.</p>

<p>During a segment called &#8220;Host Talkative,” Bravo host Andy Cohen showed Hillary a photo of Melania and told her to say the one question she would ask Mrs. Trump. “How’s your summer going?” Hillary said, seemingly referencing the raid.</p>
<p>&#8220;That’s so good,” Cohen responded. Chelsea, appearing next to her mother, chuckled at the response.</p>

<p>Former President Trump and numerous top Republicans have blasted the Biden administration and the FBI over the raid.</p>
<p>“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” the former president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-raids-trumps-home-at-mar-a-lago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.”</p>
<p>“They even broke into my safe!” Trump added. “It is political targeting at the highest level!”</p>
<p>Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-desantis-blasts-bidens-banana-republic-after-feds-raid-mar-a-lago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> (R-FL) likened the raid to the kind of things that go on in a banana republic.</p>
<p>“The raid of [Mar-a-Lago] is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves,” the Republican posted to Twitter. “Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.”</p>
<p>During the same &#8220;Watch What Happens Live&#8221; appearance, Chelsea went after former friend Ivanka.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were friends,&#8221; she told Cohen. &#8220;She is not the person I called when I was curious about something for my kids or if I was debating a life decision, but we were definitely friends &#8230; and then she went to the dark side.&#8221;</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Chelsea has spoken ill of Ivanka, who served during the Trump administration with her husband <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jared-kushner-reveals-details-of-cancer-diagnosis-treatment-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jared Kushner</a>.</p>

<p>Actress Patricia Arquette made it clear that she believed the FBI had not gone far enough when agents <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/doj-says-fbi-seized-possible-attorney-client-privileged-information-in-trump-raid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raided</a> former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> Florida home, Mar-a-Lago.</p>
<p>Arquette shared her thoughts in a late-night tweet, arguing that the FBI should have considered raiding 16-year-old Barron Trump&#8217;s bedroom and scrutinizing former first lady Melania Trump&#8217;s underwear drawer.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>&#8220;The FBI can and should look in Barron&#8217;s room and Melanie&#8217;s [sic] underwear drawer and any and everywhere else,&#8221; the &#8220;Medium&#8221; actress tweeted. &#8220;Trump and his lawyers lied about turning over ALL records. Why does he want elitist privileges? #DontDoTheCrimeIfYouCantDoTheTime.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following the raid — which occurred while Trump and his family were not present — the former president complained that FBI agents had, in fact, gone through <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-raided-mar-a-lago-to-search-for-top-secret-documents-on-nuclear-weapons-report-claims/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melania&#8217;s closet</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;My attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully, and very good relationships had been established. The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it. They asked us to put an additional lock on a certain area – DONE! Everything was fine, better than that of most previous Presidents, and then, out of nowhere and with no warning, Mar-a-Lago was raided, at 6:30 in the morning, by VERY large numbers of agents, and even ‘safecrackers.’ They got way ahead of themselves. Crazy!&#8221; Trump said in a statement following the raid. &#8220;Just learned that agents went through the First Lady’s closets and rummaged through her clothing and personal items. Surprisingly, left area in a relative mess. Wow.&#8221;</p>
<p>Subsequent reports stated that the FBI had been in search of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/former-trump-official-classified-mar-a-lago-documents-were-actually-declassified-by-trump-before-leaving-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classified documents</a> that could potentially contain information about nuclear weapons — although whether the nuclear weapons in question belonged to the United States or to foreign powers was unclear — and that agents were therefore justified in searching anywhere a document could be stored.</p>
<p>The FBI took a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/trump-probe-centers-around-several-potential-crimes-could-be-in-trouble-even-if-he-declassified-docs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">number of boxes</a> from the Trumps&#8217; Florida home — but the former president and his attorneys have repeatedly claimed that he declassified any and all documents that he took with him to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House in January of 2021. In spite of that, however, the potential crimes cited on the search warrant do not necessarily require the documents in question to be designated as &#8220;classified.&#8221;</p>

<p>Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) rooted through the personal belongings of former first lady Melania Trump as they executed a search warrant believed to be connected to classified material that former President Donald Trump was supposed to return to the National Archives earlier this year.</p>
<p>The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/fbi-even-searched-melanias-wardrobe-in-trump-raid/">reported</a> Tuesday afternoon that the agents &#8220;scoured Melania Trump’s wardrobe&#8221; in the Versailles Master Bedroom at the Mar-a-Lago residence.</p>
<p>Lawyers for the Department of Justice present during the raid reportedly informed Trump’s representatives that the search warrant gave them “full access to everything” on site.</p>
<p>Reports have claimed that Trump’s lawyers were not allowed to observe agents searching the property, although this has not yet been confirmed.</p>
<p>Federal agents executed the search warrant because they reportedly believed that Trump held back turning over all the classified information, which included documents marked as “top secret,” that was supposed to be sent back earlier this year.</p>
<p>Federal agents removed more than 10 boxes of material, which is being sorted at a local FBI field office, from the property during the raid.</p>
<p>Agents were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-details-emerge-about-fbi-raid-on-mar-a-lago-what-they-took-from-property-report">reportedly</a> at the property the entire day and were dressed in plain clothes, leading staff to believe that they were U.S. Secret Service agents, which is why news of the executed search warrant did not leak.</p>
<p>Trump’s Secret Service agents were notified about the raid only moments before it occurred. Trump had lawyers present during the raid while he was at his residence in New York City.</p>
<p>Federal prosecutors opened a grand jury <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-open-grand-jury-investigation-into-trump-over-activities-at-his-florida-home-report">investigation</a> back in May into Trump over whether classified material that ended up at his home in Mar-a-Lago was mishandled.</p>
<p>The main purpose of these types of investigations is usually for federal authorities to determine if any classified material was compromised so that intelligence officials can take steps to protect sensitive sources and methods. Prosecutors are seeking to learn every aspect of how the documents were handled from the time the documents left the White House until they were returned to the National Archives.</p>
<p>For prosecutors to be able to prove that a crime was committed, they would need evidence showing that the parties involved in removing the documents from the White House knew that the documents were classified and knew that removing them would violate the law.</p>
<p>“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-raids-trumps-home-at-mar-a-lago">said</a> in a statement. “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.”</p>
<p>“They even broke into my safe!” Trump said. “It is political targeting at the highest level!”</p>

FBI Raid On Mar-A-Lago Ensnared More Than Just Former President: Report

Florida

<p>Comedian Chelsea Handler said she wanted to &#8220;call&#8221; former first lady Melania Trump a &#8220;prostitute&#8221; during her recent hosting gig on &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live,&#8221; but wasn&#8217;t allowed to for fear of the network being sued.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chelsea-handler-has-a-lot-of-definitions-for-pro-life-none-involve-protecting-babies">47-year-old</a> comedian talked about her recent stint as a host of the ABC late-night show and said she was surprised by how much freedom she had to say what she wanted during her hosting gig. However, she admitted she did get some pushback when she wanted to call Melania a &#8220;prostitute.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We were going to call her a prostitute and then they said, &#8216;No, she&#8217;s sued people for calling her a prostitute,’” Handler told <a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/chelsea-handler-late-night-show-1235307810/">Variety</a> magazine in a recent article.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m like, &#8216;But technically she is a prostitute, so why can&#8217;t we say that?’” she added.</p>
<p>Handler said she had &#8220;never wanted to be on network television because they would never let me do my thing,&#8221; but was basically able to do &#8220;whatever&#8221; she wanted.</p>
<p>&#8220;But I have to say, this week on &#8216;Jimmy Kimmel,&#8217; I did basically whatever I wanted and it was received so well,&#8221; the performer shared. &#8220;The amount of attention and messages I&#8217;ve gotten, it really feels like coming home.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the show last week, the &#8220;Chelsea Lately&#8221; star said that during the ongoing January 6 Committee hearings, &#8220;we also got a glimpse at Melania&#8217;s awfulness.&#8221; The entire bit can be seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgGEwldM8js">here</a>.</p>
<p>The &#8220;This Means War&#8221; star was also later asked in the Variety interview about comments she previously made about the former first lady during an interview she gave in 2017 at Sundance Film Festival, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chelsea-handler-trashes-immigrant-melania-trump-amanda-prestigiacomo?jwsource=cl">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. At the time, the former talk show host was asked if she would ever want to interview Melania, to which Handler replied that the former first lady &#8220;can barely speak English.&#8221;</p>
<p>The interviewer noted how the comments got a lot of &#8220;backlash, but honestly, that&#8217;s one of the more tame things you&#8217;ve said in recent years.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes. And well, I also think Melania has proven herself to deserve that kind of retribution,&#8221; the former talk show host replied.</p>
