According to a New York Post report, former (and soon to be again) First Lady Melania Trump is refusing to meet with the Bidens at the White House citing the Biden administration’s raid on Mar-a-Lago as part of the federal government’s investigation into classified documents.
“She ain’t going,” a source familiar with Melania’s decision told The Post. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting,” the source said.
“Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet,” the source added.
From The New York Post:
Melania’s husband, President-elect Donald Trump, will sit with President Biden in the Oval Office Wednesday for a traditional post-election meeting.
Typically, the first lady hosts her successor for tea in the White House.
Melania visited the White House following her husband’s 2016 election win and received a tour from then- first lady Michelle Obama.
After Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020, he failed to invite the Bidens to the White House before the Democrat officially assumed office, breaking the decades-old tradition, according to reports at the time.
The Post has reached out to the Trump campaign and the White House about Melania’s decision to skip the meeting.
The FBI raided Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 in its probe of the 45th president’s withholding of classified White House documents.
Melania, 54, has previously voiced her displeasure over the raid at their Palm Beach, Florida, mansion.
“Yeah, it made me angry,” she said on “Fox & Friends” in a September interview, calling it an “invasion of privacy.”
