Melania Trump's Ex-Adviser Says She Taped Calls for Protection

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff claims that she made recordings of her conversations with the first lady due to questions over the costs of Trump's inauguration.

A former friend and adviser of Melania Trump said Tuesday that she made recordings of her conversations with the first lady because she needed evidence to protect herself amid questions about the costs of President Donald Trump's inauguration.

In an interview on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, Wolkoff said, “I’ve been accused of taping my friend, as the White House said, and how horrible of a human being I am for doing that."

“And they're right. If she was my friend, it would be horrible. But Melania and the White House had accused me of criminal activity and publicly shamed and fired me and made me their scapegoat," Wolkoff said. “At that moment in time, that's when I pressed record. She was no longer my friend and she was willing to let them take me down."

Wolkoff said Melania Trump told her that White House attorneys claimed there was no other choice but to turn her back on her friend because there was a possible probe of the presidential inauguration committee. Wolkoff said she taped the first lady because "I was going to do anything in my power to make sure that I was protected."........................

Where all the money went that was raked in for the inauguration has been a question since day one.

The Trump's are the reincarnation of the Borgias. They are as immoral as the family that Machiavelli based his Prince on. She was naive to believe that Melania could be trusted. She is nothing more that a gold digger who is willing to put up with immorality to live the good life. If you are willing to associate with pigs you are going to get dirty.

The only people Trump trusts are the ones he has blackmail leverage over.
