Melania Trump hits out at ‘personal attacks’ on her after US Capitol riot

Written by on 11/01/2021

Melania Trump has said she is “disappointed” and “disheartened” by the Capitol riot last week – before adding it is “shameful” she has since been the target of “salacious gossip” and “personal attacks”.

The first lady made the remarks in a statement on Monday as she said “this time is solely about healing our country” and should not be used for “personal gain”.

It is unclear which personal attacks the wife of the outgoing US president is referring to.

However, former friend and adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff has criticised the first lady for her “silence and inactions” since the riot.
