Melania Trump Tells Fox News Why She Didn’t Condemn Jan. 6She Had No Idea It Was Happening
"Former First Lady Melania Trump said she would’ve “immediately” condemned the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol had she known all the details.
“On January 6, 2021, I was fulfilling one of my duties as First Lady of the United States of America, and accordingly, I was unaware of what was simultaneously transpiring at the U.S. Capitol Building,” Trump told Fox News Digital in a Thursday interview.
“As with all First Ladies who preceded me, it was my obligation to record the contents of the White House’s historic rooms, including taking archival photographs of all the renovations,” she continued. “Several months in advance, I organized a qualified team of photographers, archivists, and designers to work with me in the White House to ensure perfect execution. As required, we scheduled January 6, 2021, to complete the work on behalf of our Nation.”"
