Jill Biden's new memoir describes tense and limited interactions with Melania Trump during the transition back to the White House in January 2025, including what she characterized as an awkward motorcade ride after Donald Trump's second inauguration and lingering friction tied to the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago.
In excerpts from "A View from the East Wing" published by The Washington Post ahead of the book's release Tuesday, the former first lady recounted a "stone-faced" ride from the White House to the Capitol following the traditional pre-inauguration tea. Biden suggested Melania Trump believed President Joe Biden was personally responsible for the FBI search of the Trump family's Florida residence.
