Melania Trump on Wednesday said she considers it miraculous that her husband survived the two assassination attempts against him and revealed that she was fuming after the FBI rummaged through her Florida home.
In her first television interview in more than two years, the former first lady told âFox & Friendsâ co-host Ainsley Earhardt that she struggled to comprehend what had happened when she saw her husband, former President Donald Trump, âon the floorâ at the July 13 Butler, Pa., rally after he was grazed by a would-be assassin’s bullet.
âI ran to the TV and I rewind[ed] it and I watched it,â Melania said of her immediate actions after being told by her chief of staff that her husband was OK but that there had been a shooting at the rally.
âWhen I saw it ⦠nobody really knew yet [what had happened],â she continued. âWhen you see him on the floor and you don’t know, you don’t know what really happened.â
Melania, 54, said she was in New York City on Sept. 15, when her husband was targeted yet again by a sniper as he golfed near their Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla.
âI saw it on the television,â the retired supermodel said of how she found out about the second assassination attempt. âAnd as soon as I saw it on television I called again, and he was OK, because Secret Service were great.â
âThe guys that [the former presidentâs golf group] were between, they were fantastic.â
âAnd, I think both of the events, they were really miracles,â Melania said.
âIf you really think about it, July 13th was a miracle. Like, that much and he could, you know, he could not be with us,â she added, noting with her fingers how close the Butler shooterâs bullet got to her husbandâs head.
When asked about her reaction to the August 2022 FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago, conducted as part of the governmentâs investigation into her husbandâs withholding of classified White House documents, Melania said the ordeal left her âangry.â
âYeah, it made me angry,â she said, calling it an âinvasion of privacy.â
âThe way it was done, was, I was really surprised.â
FBI agents scoured Melaniaâs wardrobe, combed through her husbandâs office and even reportedly searched one of her son Barronâs rooms during the raid.
âI saw unpleasant stuff that nobody wants to see,â Melania said of her experience returning to her ransacked residence. âAnd you get angry because, you know, nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff.â
âSome person â I don’t even know who or how many people â they, you know, they went through my stuff.â
Earhardtâs full interview with Melania will air Thursday morning on âFox & Friends.â
