Silent since news of Trump payoff to porn star, Melania skips Davos trip 0
US First Lady Melania Trump, who has made no public statement since reports of payoff from her husband’s lawyer to a porn star, will not be accompanying him to the upcoming World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The change of plans was confirmed Tuesday to CNN by East Wing communications director Stephanie Grisham, who had said a week earlier that she would be partaking at the event in a show of support for President Donald Trump.
The new decision was made based on “scheduling and logistical issues,” according to the White House official.
Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly brokered a payment to adult industry actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the latest round of the presidential election, in October 2016, to make sure she will not leak the affair to the press.
Ever since the news broke out on January 12, the wife of the 45th US president has been silent except for a pair of tweets that do not mention Donald Trump.
Later that day, the Slovenian-born first lady departed with Trump for a long holiday weekend to Mar-a-Lago, where Trump hosted two dinner events both in her absence.
“Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & his service to this great country. I am honored to be First Lady of a nation that continually strives for equality & justice for all,” she tweeted on January 15 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Daniels, who is a celebrity actress, screenwriter and director in the porn industry, has released a signed statement, denying having had any affairs with married Trump or having received any hush money. The recent allegations add to those of sexual assault by Trump, already gripping his administration in the first year.
