Melania Trump Will Reportedly Watch 'Every Ounce' Of Husband's Hush Money Trial For 'Proof'

Melania Trump has been silent about her husband, Donald Trump's ongoing hush money trial, but her former aide, Stephanie Grisham, doesn't seem to think her silence translates into a lack of interest.

Grisham said the former first lady would be paying close attention to new developments in the case and would be looking for "proof."

Reports suggest that the mother of one seems to share her husband's reservations about the case, privately calling it a "disgrace."

Melania Trump Is Watching Her Husband's Hush Money Trial Closely

Stephanie Grisham, who was chief of staff and press secretary for Melania, said the former first lady is closely following the proceedings to look for "proof."

It comes after David Pecker, who served as publisher of the National Enquirer and enacted several "catch and kill" schemes on harmful stories about Trump during his 2016 campaign, admitted in court that he maintained a private email for things he wanted to keep his assistants in the dark on.

According to the HuffPost, CNN's Erin Burnett asked Grisham if Melania was "prepared" for more embarrassing details about Trump that may potentially come out of the private email.

"I can guarantee she is watching every ounce of coverage, and when that [about Pecker's private email] came out, it piqued her interest," Grisham told Burnett.

She continued, "Melania is very much about proof, show proof, and so if some more damaging stuff should come out that she didn't know about because, of course, her husband continues to deny all of the details here, about Stormy especially."

"If some other stuff comes out, I think that'll be really interesting to watch because you can't really dispute things that are in writing, and that's something she always paid quite a bit of attention to, was proof," Grisham added.

The Ex-Aide Weighed In On Melania Trump Calling The Trial A 'Disgrace'

Melania's silence about Trump's hush money trial and her not appearing in court to support him have been mistaken for lack of interest in the case. However, recent reports claim that she shares Trump's opinion about the trial.

According to the New York Times, a source disclosed that Melania privately called the trial a "disgrace" that amounts to election interference. Grisham has now questioned the report, seemingly insinuating that that isn't Melania's style.

"If that were the case, she would at least put that out on X. She would say something," said Grisham. "Melania Trump absolutely does what she wants to do. And if she felt this was a disgrace, she would say something."

The Former First Lady Is 'Unfazed' By The Trial

Trump is being accused of falsifying company records to make a $130,000 payment to the former porn star to buy her silence over an alleged affair they had earlier.

The former first lady was reportedly furious when the news first broke in 2018, with Grisham claiming she "didn't take it lightly at all."

On the question about her welfare, David Urban, a Republican strategist who saw the former first lady at a campaign event held in Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, told CNN on Monday that she's "completely upbeat" and "unfazed."

Although Urban didn't directly discuss the case with the mother of one, he shared that she probably feels it's "outrageous."

Melania Trump Returns To The Campaign Trail

Melania recently made her grand return to the campaign trail with a fundraising event. At her Mar-a-Lago home, she played host to some top celebrities and prominent GOP members for the Log Cabin Republicans.

According to Page Six, the event was set up to raise "funds to inform voters in crucial swing states about President Trump's LGBT record and his goals for his second term."

It was held at the Tea Room of the private Palm Beach Club, where about 60 guests were hosted, with Bill White and Bryan Eure serving as co-hosts.

Celebrities in attendance included Caitlyn Jenner, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Elizabeth Ailes, as well as other Palm Beach and NYC GOP bigshots.

The LGBTQ+ Fundraiser Was A Pricey Event

According to reports, the LGBTQ+ fundraiser was an exclusive event, with ticket prices as high as $50,000. The proceeds were earmarked for Trump and other Republican party candidates' 2024 election bids.

Trump's ambassador to Germany and former director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell, reportedly "presided over the event and introduced Mrs. Trump to the podium."

"Grenell unveiled [Melania's] leadership role in what will be an unprecedented outreach initiative to gay and lesbian voters… the most significant of any Republican presidential candidate in American history," an attendee shared.
