Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Subpoenas Melania Trump’s Emails In Hush Money Case

As the federal criminal case against him continues to expand a provide revelations on an almost daily basis (i.e. a new tape), the hush money fraud case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg against failed former president Donald Trump now includes the ex-first lady, Melania Trump.

According to the Associated Press, Bragg wants to see Melania’s email communications.

The second subpoena concerns emails exchanged among Trump Organization employees and the White House, as well as severance and confidentiality agreements for key figures in Trump’s company. Prosecutors are also seeking emails between Trump’s wife, Melania, and Rhona Graff, a longtime company executive.

Trump pleaded not guilty in April to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The charges relate to hush-money payments made during the 2016 campaign to bury allegations that Trump had extramarital sexual encounters. He has denied wrongdoing.

While spousal privilege would likely keep Mrs. Trump from having to testify against her husband, her emails could provide a window into the alleged fraud he’s accused of in Manhattan.

The disgraced former president is also facing federal charges for his mishandling of classified documents and may also be charged for his role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.

Additionally, Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to hand down indictments against Trump as soon as August for his role in trying to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election in the Peach State.

Trump Indictment: A Female Family Member May Have Helped Him Hide Documents

When he spoke to the media this afternoon to formally announce the indictment of former president Donald Trump on 37 charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents and obstruction of justice, Special Counsel Jack Smith urged Americans who wanted to know why the indictments had been handed down to read the document he had just given to the press.

Business Insider notes that Smith “urged Americans to read the more than 40-page indictment — which included counts related to the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice — “to understand the scope and the gravity of the crimes charged.”

If you do indeed decide to read the indictment, you’ll immediately notice the scope and breadth of the charges and the evidence the Justice Department used to obtain approval from a grand jury, including allegations that the disgraced ex-president oversaw the moving of boxes containing documents, failed to secure some of the most sensitive information in the American intelligence apparatus (including nuclear secrets and the names of undercover operatives who obtained the information), and Trump’s total disregard for national security, which may have already led to significant leaks of top secret documents to our adversaries and enemies.

Also in the indictment, on page 23, is what appears to be evidence that a female member of the Trump family was either involved in the effort to hide the documents or knew they were being hidden and failed to notify federal authorities. Both are a crime.

Here’s page 23:

Who could that family member be? It was most likely either former First Lady Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, or Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump. Note that it was a “Trump family member.” That certainly narrows down the possibilities.

It should also be noted that the woman may not have known what was in the boxes, but the fact that she served as a courier for a message from the former president does make her part of the larger conspiracy and criminal act, if only by accident.

Whoever the family member is, she’s also in serious legal jeopardy. Unless, of course, that person is now cooperating with Smith’s team of prosecutors.

As Special Counsel Smith urged today, we should all read the indictment. Not only to be fully informed, but also so we can have a better sense of just how deeply Donald Trump may have endangered our national security and what that means for us all in the long term.

Trump Attacks ‘Lunatics And Maniacs’ In Mother’s Day Message – Never Once Mentions Melania

In honor of Mother’s Day, indicted, twice-impeached sex offender Donald Trump went on an angry social media rant which he posted on his failing Truth Social site, suggesting that he wanted to wish a happy day to the mothers of “Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, and Communists.”

However, he failed to mention his current wife, Melania, who is also the mother of his youngest son, Barron.

“Happy Mother’s Day to ALL, in particular the Mothers, Wives and Lovers of the Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, and Communists who are doing everything within their power to destroy and obliterate our once great Country. Please make these complete Lunatics and Maniacs Kinder, Gentler, Softer and, most importantly, Smarter, so that we can, quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

As usual, Donald made the entire thing about himself. He’s a malignant narcissist, so he cannot comprehend the idea of being kind to others or showing compassion to anyone but himself.

This year’s Mother’s Day message from the disgraced ex-president is more of the same from him.

Last year, he posted this online:

Fortunately, Donnie got lit up on Twitter for his selfish bullshit.

GOP Immigration WTF?!

MT Greene: Melania Trump Is Proof That Republicans Support Immigration

According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), it’s simply not fair to say that Republicans are opposed to immigration and the proof of that is their love of former First Lady Melania Trump.

During debate on a Republican border security bill, Newsweek reports, Greene began her comments on immigration by referencing the wife of failed and indicted former president/sex offender Donald Trump.

“I would like to remind everyone that Republicans believe in legal immigration,” Greene said on Wednesday. “As a matter of fact, we are very proud of our former first lady, Melania Trump, who immigrated legally to the United States. But there is a clear difference in policies when we talk about border and security for the United States of America.

“I think it is very important to remind my colleagues across the aisle what our oath of office actually says. We swear an oath that we will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

The Georgia Republican added, “That is a very important oath to swear and it is one to uphold but this is not being upheld in the past two years under this administration. We have seen nearly 5 million people cross our border and it is unsustainable.”

Greene’s claims about Melania’s immigration being legal aren’t exactly factual. As a matter of fact, there have been plenty of questions about how she managed to obtain a visa in the first place.

Mrs. Trump immigrated to the United States on an EB-1, or “Einstein visa,” which is reserved for those “of extraordinary ability” and “sustained national and international acclaim.” That usually means people Nobel Prize winners or those who have earned Olympic medals. She has neither of those and later helped her parents obtain U.S. citizenship even though they possess no special skills or awards.

While Greene may want to try and put a happy face on the Republican policy on immigration, the facts are clear: They want to keep just about everyone from coming to the U.S. unless they have connections or marry a rich sexual predator like Donald Trump.

Melania Staying ‘Far Away’ From Donald As He Nears Indictment In Manhattan: Report

As he faces the very real possibility that he will be formally indicted, fingerprinted, photographed, and processed next week in Manhattan for violating New York election law, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump is probably wondering which of his family and friends will abandon him first.

According to a former chief of staff to Melania Trump, Stephanie Grisham, the former first lady is, she suspects, keeping her distance from Donald.

Grisham, who briefly served as White House press secretary in the Trump administration, was a guest on MSNBC and noted that Melania has a history of staying away from her husband’s many legal problems and will likely do so this time, too.

Asked about the former president’s prediction that he will be indicted next Tuesday, Grisham replied, “This morning when the news kind of started to hit, I have to say, she is the first person I thought of and, of course, their young son who is a minor. And I just, thought there is still this family there that will also be affected in these are people I felt close to at one point.”

Grisham continued:

“She always had the attitude of ‘this is his problem, he can take care of it.’ about which I really always admired and respected. I don’t think I could’ve had that kind of attitude but I am sure that she has that same attitude right now, you know, this is your problem.

“I think she’s probably sticking kind of far from him, I think she’s doing her own thing, as she always does.”
