MELANIA Trump appeared on the arm of a handsome military aide at public events to take revenge on her husband after Stormy Daniels affair allegations broke, according to a new book.
Stephanie Grisham, who served as the former first lady's chief of staff, writes of how Melania was infuriated by the former president's apparent infidelity and attempts to pay Daniels' silence.
“After the Stormy Daniels story broke and all the allegations that followed from other women, I felt that Mrs Trump was basically unleashed," Grisham wrote in excerpts obtained by The New York Times.
Melania allegedly went to lengths to punish her husband, including posting photos without him and requesting the handsome aide escort her during the 2018 State of the Union.
Insisting that the floor of the Capitol was slippery, she picked out an especially handsome escort to hold her arm, Grisham writes.
"I laughed to myself because I'd seen the woman navigate dirt roads in her heels," the former press secretary continued.
According to Grisham, Melania took a hands-off approach to her husband's scandals, saying: "This is Donald's problem. He got himself into this mess. He can fix it by himself."
In another section, Grisham writes that Melania doesn't stand next to her husband like Jill Biden does to hers.
"I don’t stand next to him [Trump] because I don’t need to hold him up like she does," Melania reportedly said.
Grisham's tell-all memoir, entitled I'll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in The Trump White House, is set for release on October 5.
The book casts an unfavorable eye on Melania, calling her "dismissive" and "detached," according to excerpts obtained by Politico.
An anonymous source told the outlet: "Stephanie has secrets about Trump that even the first lady doesn't know. Secrets that he doesn't want her to know. They will be in this book."
Melania's office hit back at Grisham with a scathing statement, calling the book "an attempt to redeem herself after a poor performance as press secretary, failed personal relationships, and unprofessional behavior in the White House."
The statement continues: "Through mistruth and betrayal, she seeks to gain relevance and money at the expense of Mrs. Trump."
In 2018, The Wall Street Journal first broke the news that Donald had paid adult performer Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep news of their affair quiet ahead of the 2016 election.
According to Daniels, the affair happened a decade earlier and just a year after the Trumps tied the knot.
Daniels later filed suit, claiming that Michael Cohen, who "facilitated" the pay-off through a private company, used "intimidation and coercive tactics" to force her to sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
The then-president tweeted on May 3 of the same year that the agreement "was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair."
Several months later, Cohen pleaded guilty to making an illegal payment using funds from the Trump campaign.
Although the former president was named in the indictment, he was not charged.
