REPORT: Former Trump Lawyer Claims Melania Got Her Green Card From A Secret Previous 2001 Marriage

And the intrigue deepens. Univision reports:



In an interview with Larry King Live in 2005 Melania Trump said that she had never been married before meeting Donald Trump.

But, Michael Wildes, an immigration attorney who worked for the Trump Organization, told Univision’s investigative unit that she obtained a green card four years earlier in 2001, “based on marriage.”

Melania and Donald Trump were not married until Jan. 22, 2005 at Bethesda-by-the Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach, Florida.

When asked to explain the marriage discrepancy, Wildes said he would seek clarification, presumably from the Trump Organization. He later sent an email saying “I didn’t hear back, sorry.”

Wildes later clarified that legal privacy issues meant he could not discuss her status. “There are certain parts of the process that remain private. The immigration authorities don’t discuss this nor should we,” he said.

Wildes, a former federal prosecutor who said he is a Hillary Clinton supporter, added that as far as he is concerned the media inquiries into Melania Trump’s immigration status are “moot and ridiculous.”
