Melania’s Ex-BFF Says She’s Been Cooperating With Prosecutors For ‘Over 3 Years’

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff isn’t exactly a household name, but her best friend for several years most certainly is: Former First Lady Melania Trump.

Wolkoff was a devoted friend and confidant to Melania, but when investigators began looking at questionable spending by the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC) shortly after Donald Trump became president, the Trump tried to blame Wolkoff.

The PIC scandal is heating up again, according to The Daily Beast:

Ahead of the 2017 presidential inauguration, the Trump Organization reserved a block of rooms at the Loews Madison Hotel. When at least 13 people didn’t show up, the Trump Organization refused to pay the bill, something it has done many times in the past. The company then dodged a credit collection agency and eventually squirmed out of it by pushing the $49,358 bill off to the nonprofit presidential inaugural committee, the PIC.

That dodged payment is now the crux of the attorney general for the District of Columbia’s latest effort to put the Trump Organization back in its crosshairs in an ongoing investigation into how the Trump kids used the Presidential Inauguration Committee to throw lavish parties of their own.

Wolkoff says the Trumps should have known better:

“It was their friends. It should never have been sent to the PIC. That’s misuse of funding. The Trump Organization being involved in any way and getting the PIC to pay any sort of balance anywhere on their behalf? It just doesn’t seem legitimate.”

And it now seems that Wolkoff is on the verge of having the last laugh, as she noted Monday on Twitter, reminding Melania and the Trump family that she has the goods on them.

That’s not all Wolkoff had to say, either.

No matter where they look — Georgia, New York, Washington, D.C. — the ex-president and his family can see storm clouds on the horizon. Their lying, grifting, and other criminal behavior is on the verge of sending them to prison for a long time.
