During a taped interview with ABC News last week, first lady Melania Trump set the record straight and declared that she is neither paying attention to nor interested by news of her husband's alleged infidelities.
"It is not concern and focus of mine. I'm a mother and a first lady, and I have much more important things to think about and to do," she said."I know people like to speculate and media like to speculate about our marriage," she continued. When asked if the rumors impact her emotionally, the famously private and reserved Melania responded, "It's not always pleasant, of course, but I know what is right and what is wrong and what is true or not true."
Several women have come forward claiming that they had affairs with President Trump. Earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal confirmed that Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, paid adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to refrain from sharing the details of her affair with the presidential candidate ahead of the 2016 election. Daniels however subsequently sat down with CBS in a 60 Minutes interview in March of this year to share the details of her alleged affair with Trump. Former Playboy model Karen McDougal has also alleged that she and Trump had a 10-month long affair over a decade ago.
Admittedly, Melania did not delve into too much detail about the state of 13-year long marriage to Trump during the ABC News interview. When asked if she still has a good marriage and if she loves her husband, she replied, "Yes, we are fine."
