Stephanie Grisham told CNN that Melania Trump is likely paying close attention to Donald Trump’s criminal trial despite her silence about it. She believes that one thing Melania will be on the lookout for is indisputable evidence of her husband’s wrongdoing. “That’s something she always paid quite a bit of attention to, was proof,” said Grisham. She suggested Melania will be particularly interested in evidence of Donald’s alleged affair with Stormy Daniels, which Donald has denied.
If Melania wished to, she could show up in court and watch the proceedings in person. However, reporters would witness her reaction if some damning evidence were to be revealed. Still, some experts think she would be doing her husband a huge favor by sitting in the courtroom. “If Melania were there supporting him, that potentially sends a message that ‘I support him, I’m OK, I believe, perhaps, this didn’t happen,'” former Manhattan DA prosecutor Mark Bederow told Business Insider. “I think that can only have a positive impact on the jury.”
Melania has given Daniels a crude nickname, as evidenced by a secret recording. However, since she hasn’t publicly accepted Donald’s affair denial, this might not be a case where she’s placing the sole blame on “the other woman.” Daniels has offered her own thoughts about the matter, telling “Good Morning Britain” in 2023, “Silence speaks volumes.” She also offered to show up in court for Melania — at her divorce trial.
