The New York Daily News reports:
But HER emails. Melania Trump reportedly used a private email account to discuss official government business including hiring aides and security-sensitive schedules of visiting foreign heads of state.
The first lady’s ousted former top aide made the claim as she rolls out her tell-all memoir about President Trump’s wife and her time in the White House. President Trump made a huge campaign issue out of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state during their 2016 presidential battle.
Stephanie Grisham, chief of staff and spokesperson for Melania Trump, said Stephanie Wolkoff was out for revenge. “The book is not only full of mistruths and paranoia, it is based on some imagined need for revenge, said Grisham.
Here’s the thing. Melania is not a White House official, really.
Ivanka and Jared both are. Ivanka used (maybe still uses) private email for government business. Jared used (maybe still uses) Whatsapp to communicate with foreign despots.https://t.co/SFK1XWg5fh pic.twitter.com/MhyjDHeZ8o
