A new book claims Melania Trump delayed her move to the White House after her husband’s surprise victory in November 2016 because she was renegotiating their prenuptial agreement.
In “The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump,” Mary Jordan, a reporter for The Washington Post, details why the first lady was able “to amend her financial arrangement with Trump — what Melania referred to as ‘taking care of Barron,’” she wrote, according to The Post.
The book notes that the original prenup was not especially generous to Mrs. Trump, but she was able to secure a bigger bag after reports emerged about her husband’s alleged infidelities during his 2016 presidential campaign.
“According to three people close to Trump, a key reason was that she had finally reached a new and significantly improved financial agreement with Trump, which had left her in a noticeably better financial position,” Jordan wrote.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for the first lady, has slammed Jordan’s tale, describing it as “Yet another book about Mrs. Trump with false information and sources,” she said in an emailed statement.
