NEW YORK (EFE).— The former first lady of the United States, Melania Trump, questions in her memoirs published yesterday the results of the 2020 elections, in which her husband Donald Trump lost against Democrat Joe Biden.
In “Melania,” the former president’s wife remembers election night, which she and her son Barron followed on Fox News while Donald Trump walked in and out of the room.
“At 11:30 p.m., Fox predicted that Arizona would go for Biden. How could they predict it so soon, before all the votes had been counted? It was another sign that these were not normal elections,” he says in the book, which went on sale yesterday in the US.
Melania adds that her suspicions that the election was unfair increased when she discovered that “due to the way states counted mail-in votes and mail delivery times, the results would not be clear for several days.”
Although it is common for the press to announce the expected result of an election when it considers that sufficient unofficial information about the vote count has been published, Melania accuses the media and big technology companies of trying to prevent Trump’s re-election. And he believes that “an election should be held in a single day” and that “the polls should close at midnight.”
In her book she also clarifies why she did not publicly reject the assault on the Capitol and answers her then press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, who revealed that when that day she asked her to condemn the use of violence in X, she responded with a simple ” No”.
Melania clarifies that her response was due to a misunderstanding, since she did not know what was happening at the Capitol: “If I had been fully informed of the details, I would have immediately reported the violence.”
Now, he condemns what happened that day and affirms that, despite his rejection of the election results, the violence witnessed then “was unequivocally unacceptable.”
In the book, Melania does not mention the criminal charges her husband faces in Washington DC and Georgia for his attempts to interfere in the election results, nor does she investigate the accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against him by several women, such as the porn actress Stormy Daniels or the writer E. Jean Carroll.
