Former First Lady Melania Trump’s representatives have criticized CNN over an anonymously sourced report, asserting that the story shows the media’s “unhealthy obsession” with her.
“Mrs. Trump is no longer First Lady. She is a private citizen, mother, & wife. Sources in this article are not affiliated w her nor have insight into her thoughts or daily life. CNN’s FLOTUS Correspondent choosing to publish false gossip illustrates the media’s unhealthy obsession,” the office of Melania Trump said in a statement on social media.
The CNN report cited several people in claiming Trump’s daily life since leaving office has had nothing to do with politics. One of the unnamed sources allegedly said the former first lady was disengaged from the impeachment trial of her husband, former President Donald Trump, which ended with his acquittal on Feb. 13.
Trump’s office, in addition to its criticism, shared a post by Women for Trump co-founder Amy Kremer, who wrote, “Why is it necessary to write a hit piece on Melania Trump after she has left the WH & is just trying to live her life in private, @KateBennett_DC ? Please, have some grace & leave her alone.”
Kate Bennett was CNN’s primary reporter covering Trump when she was in office.
Bennett and CNN didn’t immediately respond to requests by The Epoch Times for comment.
