South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, a Republican, attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin and his state television for broadcasting nude photos of First Lady Melania Trump without acknowledging that the photos were from a magazine photoshoot years ago and had already been published.
Rep. Wilson condemned the Russian President for the images, aired by the popular Russian show 60 Minutes, during congressional proceedings in the House of Representatives on Tuesday. However, the images had been taken as part of a GQ magazine photoshoot in 2000 to accompany a profile of Melania Knauss, Trump's then-girlfriend, reported Irish Star.
