Melania Trump keeps quiet after verdict

Ivanka Trump was a no-show during the former president’s weeks-long hush money trial. When her father was convicted on 34 felony charges Thursday, the former White House aide had little to say, offering just four words of support: "I love you dad," shared alongside a photo on Instagram of her and her dad when she was a child.

Ivanka's older brother, Donald Jr., who had filmed himself in the courthouse Wednesday, had much more to say. Within a few hours of the verdict, he fired out a slew of profane social media content: 14 posts on X, seven on Truth Social, a video on Instagram, and four more posts on Facebook for good measure. All were in support of his father, who is now the first former American president to be convicted of a crime.
