Melania Trump Appears With Donald Trump At 2 Mar-a-Lago Events; Is Trump Ready For 2024 Bid?

Melania Trump has been mostly away from spotlight after she exited the White House earlier this year. However, she recently made two glamorous appearances with husband Donald Trump, who is reportedly gearing up for a presidential run in 2024.

The former First Lady has been maintaining a low profile since shifting to Florida in January, but she returned to spotlight when she attended two events at Mar-a-Lago with Donald last week, reported Daily Mail.

This came days before her husband shared that he is "certainly thinking about" running for President, and said that he thinks many will be very happy with the decision, and "probably will announce that after the midterms."

His wife's lack of public appearances with him over the last few months had caused speculation that she was not too keen on him making attempts to return to the White House, with sources saying that being the First Lady again was "not what Melania wants." However, their public appearances together seems to have shut down these rumors.

During an America First Policy Institute fundraiser, which happened at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, the couple entered the event hand-in-hand, and looked happy. The event was followed by the Spirit of Lincoln Gala, which was also at their Mar-a-Lago club, where the Spirit of Lincoln Award was given to Melania. During the event, Donald stood by her side, and when she accepted her award, the 75-year-old looked at her adoringly.

Prior to these two galas, she joined her husband at a World Series game between the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves last month.

Meanwhile, Trump's request to block the release of documents during his time in the White House to the committee that is investigating the Jan. 6 US Capitol riot was rejected by a federal judge, reported Associated Press.

On Tuesday, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that Congress had a strong public interest in getting hands on the documents that could help in the investigation into the attack by the former president’s supporters, and added that President Joe Biden was the one who could waive executive privilege over the records.

Chutkan said that this is a dispute between a former and incumbent President, and "the Supreme Court has already made clear that in such circumstances, the incumbent’s view is accorded greater weight.” She added, "Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President."

According to CNN, Tuesday's ruling gives an immediate boost to the committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. The committee has been having a hard time in getting important figures around Trump to testify about his coup attempt.
