Though Melania Trump has remained silent and largely out of the public eye in the wake of her husband's sexual abuse and defamation case by writer E. Jean Carroll, the former first lady has privately expressed skepticism about the lawsuit, two unnamed sources familiar with her remarks told The New York Times. According to the sources, she privately questioned why Carroll could not recall the exact date she said Trump sexually assaulted her in a high-end, Manhattan department store dressing room.
Melania Trump was also reportedly "livid" when she watched the coverage of Donald Trump's deposition in the case, in which he, among other contentious comments, confused Carroll with his ex-wife. The former president's blunder is not what drew Melania Trump's ire, however. Instead, sources said, she was angry with his legal team's failure to raise more objections during the deposition.
