EXCLUSIVE: Melania Trump is all smiles as she steps out of Trump Tower – a day after audio emerges of Donald admitting to having classified documents he took from the White House
Melania Trump was all smiles as she stepped out to the streets of Manhattan, a day after damning audio of Donald Trump discussing classified documents he had taken from the White House was leaked to the media.
Melania, 53, donned a classy grey Celine safari jacket worth $3,550, Louboutin Kate shoes worth $795, and a chic white skirt as she was spotted leaving Trump Tower on Tuesday afternoon.
She was also sporting a white Hermes Clemence Kelly II Retourne 35 handbag, which retails for over $7,600.
Her appearance in Manhattan was her second in just two weeks, after she was previously seen on the East Coast on the day of Donald’s 77th birthday.

That visit also came on a momentous day for her husband – he had spent the morning in Miami facing a federal court over the classified documents case.
It has been said the former First Lady is ‘hurting’ over the risk of her husband heading to jail as his legal woes continue to mount.
Her latest trip to New York came as bombshell audio was leaked to CNN revealing the former president discussing and showing off a classified document about potential military action in Iran.
Specifically, Trump appears to say that he is holding a Pentagon document with ‘secret’ classification that includes plans to attack Iran.
‘These are the papers,’ Trump says while discussing the Pentagon attack plans, referring to something he claimed was ‘highly confidential.’
The audio is from a July 2021 interview Trump participated in at Bedminster, for people working on the memoir for the former president’s once Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

New audio obtained by CNN revealed that Donald Trump admitted to a writer and publisher during an interview that he took classified documents from the White House without declassifying them first
The documents were likely part of the slew of materials the ex-president improperly – and possibly illegally – took from the White House when he vacated office
Special counsel Jack Smith handed down a 37-count indictment against Trump
The former president came out swinging after the audio emerged, claiming it had actually ‘exonerated’ him in his mounting legal case.
‘The Deranged Special Prosecutor, Jack Smith, working in conjunction with the DOJ & FBI, illegally leaked and “spun” a tape and transcript of me which is actually an exoneration, rather than what they would have you believe,’ wrote Trump on his Truth Social platform.
‘This continuing Witch Hunt is another ELECTION INTERFERENCE Scam. They are cheaters and thugs!’
The mention of the ‘secret’ classification, revealed in Monday’s audio, was not included in the Justice Department indictment, which handed down 37 counts against the ex-president.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges during a court appearance in Miami earlier this month before going back to his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey for a press conference.
Attendees at the meeting where the audio took place were Trump, two of his staffers, a writer and a publisher, per the indictment.
