Melania Trump is not on site in New York for the trial of former US President Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll, but she still supports her husband in his future plans. She expressed this clearly in an interview with Fox News earlier this week.
It marks the first time Melania has directly addressed her husband publicly after a prolonged absence and silence following his indictment with 34 felony counts of falsification of business records. Before this, she had only released a statement addressing the media in what seemed like a response to rumours surrounding her opinion on the charges against her husband and the state of her marriage.
In said interview, Melania talks about her social commitment, among other things. Just before the interview, she hosted a private luncheon at Mar-a-Lago to mark the fifth anniversary of the founding of her 'Be Best' initiative during her time in the White House. The initiative addresses the welfare of children, victims of opioid abuse, and online safety. The former First Lady revealed:
Melania goes on to tell Fox News Digital that if her husband is re-elected president in 2024, as First Lady, she would 'prioritise the well-being and development of children as I have always done'.

In the interview, however, Melania talks not only about her charitable causes, but also about the renewed candidacy of her husband, who recently lost his case against E. Jean Carroll. The former First Lady said in the interview that she looks forward to working with her spouse if it came to a second term for Donald Trump. She said:
Should she have 'the privilege' of becoming First Lady again in 2024, Melania said she wants to prioritise charity work, especially in the area of children.
