Melania Trump issues wild statement accusing US government of 'invading her privacy'

Melania Trump has lashed out with a claim that her personal rights were violated by a raid on her Mar-a-Lago home by the FBI.

Donald Trump ’s wife shared a video on X as she promotes her tell-all memoir and focused on the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. And her high-profile allegation comes after she has kept a low profile so far during Trump’s presidential campaign.

The Fourth Amendment states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated.”

Earlier in the summer she revealed she had a memoir coming out this autumn called “Melania,” and billed as “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence".

And now she has appeared in a black and white video to promote the book where she said: “I never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America.”

She then went into details of the moment when the FBI agents entered the Mar-a-Lago property in Florida as part of an investigation over claims that Donald Trump had kept classified documents there.

“The FBI raided my home in Florida, and searched through my personal belongings,” she continued. “This is not just my story - it serves as a warning to all Americans. A reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected.”

The clip also ended by showing her new book that is due out in autumn. When Melania’s book was announced it was stated that the former first lady “invites readers into her world, offering an intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life. It also said: “‘Melania’ includes personal stories and family photos she has never before shared with the public.”

Melania, Donald Trump’s third wife, has been an enigmatic figure since her husband announced he was running in the 2016 election. She has sought to maintain her privacy even as she served as first lady, focusing on raising their son, Barron, and promoting her “Be Best” initiative to support the “social, emotional, and physical health of children.”

While she appeared at her husband’s campaign launch event for 2024 and attended the closing night of last week’s Republican National Convention, she has otherwise stayed off the campaign trail. Her decision not to deliver a speech at this year’s convention marked a departure from tradition for candidates’ wives, and from the 2016 and 2020 Republican gatherings.
