First lady Melania Trump said Wednesday she considered it a miracle that her husband survived two assassination attempts and revealed she was furious after the FBI searched their Florida home.
“I'm not a big fan of the show,” the former first lady said in her first television interview in more than two years. “Fox & Friends” Co-host Ainsley Earhardt said she struggled to comprehend what had happened when she saw her husband, former President Donald Trump, lying on the floor after being grazed by an assassin's bullet at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
“I ran to the TV and rewound it.[ed] “I was watching it unfold,” Melania Trump said of her immediate actions after her chief of staff told her her husband was safe but that there had been gunfire at the rally.
“When I saw it… nobody knew about it yet. [what had happened]”When you see him on the floor, you don't know what happened,” she continued.
Melania Trump, 54, was in New York City on September 15 when she said her husband was again targeted by a sniper while playing golf near their Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
“I saw it on TV,” the retired supermodel said of how she found out about the second assassination attempt. “As soon as I saw it on TV, I called again and the Secret Service were amazing and it was fine.”
” [the former president’s golf group] During that time they were great.”
“And I think both of these events were truly miraculous,” Melania said.
“When you think about it, July 13th was a miracle, a miracle that it could have happened and he wasn't with us,” she said, gesturing to how close the Butler shooter's bullet had been to her husband's head.
Asked about her reaction to the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, which was part of a government investigation into her husband's concealment of classified White House documents, Melania Trump said she felt “angered” by the incident.
“Yeah, I was angry,” she said, calling it an “invasion of privacy.”
“I was really surprised at how that happened.”
FBI agents combed through Melania's wardrobe, combed her husband's office, and They searched my son Barron's room. Under attack.
“I saw some nasty things that no one wants to see,” Melania Trump said of her experience returning to her ransacked home, “and I'm outraged because no one should have to endure that.”
“Someone — I don't know who or how many — was going through my belongings.”
The full interview with Earhart and Melania Trump will air Thursday morning on “Fox & Friends.”
