Husband of former Trump household aide scores government job


A home improvement contractor married to one of Donald and Melania Trump’s former household staffers is now working as an official at the Environmental Protection Agency, the latest example of someone with a personal connection to the Trump family finding work in the administration.

New Jersey-based Steve Kopec joined EPA’s Region 2 office in New York as a special assistant on Dec. 18, according to a memo obtained by POLITICO. “Steve comes to us from private industry, where he fashioned his career around customer service and organizational efficiencies,” EPA Region 2 Administrator Pete Lopez wrote in the memo. “Steve is an experienced manager with skills in team building, management and organization.”

But today's revelations brought the story to mind.

Here's a different version of the same story:

The husband of Melania Trump’s cleaning lady just got a job in a vital federal agency


In his continuing efforts to “drain the swamp,” President Trump has decided to utilize the services of a home improvement contractor married to one of Melania Trump’s household staff as an official at the Environmental Protection Agency, according to a report on Politico today.

They are both on FB. There are no pics of kids on their FB pages. Just a mention of becoming grandparents again.

And of the 2 of them getting married in 2016 or so.

If this is the housekeeper then the kid is most likely older than Baron. Or they wiped their pages clean. Another angle is the hubby got the job so trump won't have to pay child support. I wonder if he shows up to work?
