Recent media reports have highlighted the notable absence of U.S. First Lady Melania Trump from the White House for a significant portion of her husband Donald Trump's second presidential term. This absence has sparked questions regarding her residence and role within the administration.
Journalist Michael Wolff revealed in an article on "Substack" that Melania "does not reside in the White House," suggesting that her presence is largely limited to official events and duties associated with her role as First Lady.
Wolff also noted the frequent appearances of President Donald Trump with his executive assistant Natalie Harp, who has become a close figure to him, according to reports and books discussing the president's inner circle.
These statements prompted a sharp response from the White House, with presidential spokesperson Davis Engel labeling Wolff as a "serial liar." Meanwhile, Melania Trump has not commented on the report.
Melania's limited appearances since the start of her husband's second term underscore the ongoing mystery. According to an analysis published by "The Daily Beast," the First Lady appeared publicly only 47 times in 2025, while she was seen 38 days during the first seven months of 2026. (Erem News)
