In the latest clip released from their ABC News sitdown interview, Melania Trump tells Tom Llamas that her husband’s alleged extramarital affairs are “not a concern and focus” of hers.
“I’m a mother and a first lady, and I have much more important things to think about and to do,” she says. “I know people like to speculate and [the] media likes to speculate about our marriage.”
Trump did admit that some of what she called the “media speculation” about Stormy Daniels and others has hurt her: “It’s not always pleasant,” she says.
ABC News has been releasing snippets from the interview in drips and drabs. Click here for a drip, and here for a drab.
