According to Holly Davis, a Donald Trump divorce may not actually benefit Melania at the present time. “I do not think she will divorce Trump in the middle of his indictments if there is some benefit she would get financially under the terms of her premarital agreement, or for her son Barron,” Davis tells Nicki Swift exclusively, calling the former first lady a “strategist.” Davis then explains that it’s possible that the Trumps’ union could actually help them when facing legal proceedings. “If they remain married during the indictments and federal cases, they may invoke spousal privilege to avoid anyone having to testify against the other. This would protect both of them if Melania had any culpability or responsibility for any of the things Trump is charged with,” Davis explained.

For those unfamiliar with spousal privilege, it is basically a shield that protects a married couple so that if the two discuss matters, say, in the privacy of their own home — even about wrongdoings — they would be protected from having to testify against the other person. This means that Melania Trump would be spared from having to give a testimony against her husband and she would also be protected from being implicated in any potential related crimes.
