Melania: I Wasn’t Watching When Shooter Tried to Kill Trump
Melania Trump on Thursday used her first interview in years to speak about the apparent attempts on her husband’s life, saying she didn’t see the first one in real time and learned about the second from television.
The former first lady spoke about her experience with the attempts to kill her husband, Donald Trump, in a Fox & Friends interview to promote her forthcoming memoir. “I ran to the TV and I rewinded and I watched it,” she said referring to the attack on her husband on July 13 at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “I was only a few minutes behind.”
“I didn’t really see [it] live live, but maybe, you know, three minutes, few minutes later,” Melania Trump continued. She said at the time “nobody really knew yet” what had unfolded: “Because when you see him on the floor, and you don’t know—you don’t know what really happened.”
