Melania Trump to appear with president as Epstein files take center stage
First Lady Melania Trump will make a rare appearance with President Donald Trump as the Epstein files crisis continues to take center stage.
The President has been all but radio silent for almost a full day, with the exception of a Wednesday Oval Office appearance where he took no questions from reporters.
“President Trump will be joined by First Lady Melania Trump in the East Room for an executive order signing aimed at expanding opportunities for education, career development, housing, and other resources for young people transitioning from foster care to adulthood,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
Leavitt said the initiative is “part of the First Lady’s Fostering the Future efforts, which are a Be Best initiative.”
“In May,” Newsmax reported, “Melania Trump announced a $25 million investment from the Trump administration to support youth aging out of foster care.”
Recently, the President and First Lady appeared together in the United Kingdom at state visit events in September. That month they also appeared together at a 9/11 event at the Pentagon. Late last month they hosted a White House Halloween event.
Thursday’s event is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
