Melania Trump declined an invitation to visit the White House on Wednesday for a meeting with Jill Biden, choosing instead to forgo the customary gathering. Her decision comes in light of the Biden administration’s previous search of Mar-a-Lago as part of an investigation into classified materials.
“She ain’t going,” a source close to Melania told The Post. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting,” the source added.
“Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet,” the source stated further.
Meanwhile, Melania’s husband, President-elect Donald Trump, is set to meet with President Joe Biden in the Oval Office on Wednesday for a traditional postelection visit.
Normally, the outgoing first lady invites her successor to the White House for tea and a tour.
Following her husband’s 2016 election victory, Melania visited the White House and was given a tour by then-First Lady Michelle Obama. When Trump lost his reelection bid in 2020, however, he did not invite the Bidens to the White House before the Democrat’s inauguration, breaking a longstanding precedent, according to reports at the time.
The Post has reached out to both the Trump campaign and the White House for comment regarding Melania’s choice to decline the meeting.
The FBI executed a search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in August 2022 as part of its investigation into his handling of classified documents from his time in the White House.
Melania, now 54, has publicly expressed her frustration about the raid.
“Yeah, it made me angry,” she shared on “Fox and Friends” during a September interview, describing it as an “invasion of privacy.”
During the search, FBI agents reportedly inspected Melania’s personal wardrobe, searched her 78-year-old husband’s office, and even went through one of her son Barron’s rooms.
“I saw unpleasant stuff that nobody wants to see,” Melania said, reflecting on her experience returning to her residence post-search. “And you get angry because, you know, nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff.”
In July, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case involving Trump’s classified documents.
