Melania Trump Will Not Meet With Jill Biden At White House, Report Claims

100 Percent Fed Up

Melania Trump has declined to attend a White House meeting with Jill Biden.

“She ain’t going,” a source told the New York Post.

“Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting. Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet,” the source added, according to the outlet.

From the New York Post:

Melania visited the White House following her husband’s 2016 election win and received a tour from then- first lady Michelle Obama.

After Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020, he failed to invite the Bidens to the White House before the Democrat officially assumed office, breaking the decades-old tradition, according to reports at the time.

The Post has reached out to the Trump campaign and the White House about Melania’s decision to skip the meeting.

The FBI raided Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 in its probe of the 45th president’s withholding of classified White House documents.

Melania, 54, has previously voiced her displeasure over the raid at their Palm Beach, Florida, mansion.

President Trump is set to meet with Joe Biden at the White House on Wednesday.

The two will meet in the Oval Office at 11 a.m. that day.

Per CNN:

Jill Biden extended Melania Trump the customary invitation last week as her husband also invited the president-elect to the Oval Office, a symbolic gesture to show the country and the world that there will be a peaceful transition of power – and an implicit rebuke of Donald Trump, who refused Joe Biden the same meeting in 2020 as he contested that election’s results. The two are set to meet Wednesday at 11 a.m., according to the White House.

There was discussion about encouraging Melania Trump to come to Washington for the meeting, as some members of the president-elect’s team felt it was important. But the incoming first lady, who spent her first four years in office redefining the role and what was expected, is laying an early marker indicating she will have even more autonomy the second time around.

Aside from 2020, it has been tradition for the current first lady to host the incoming first lady at the White House. In 2016, then-first lady Michelle Obama hosted Melania Trump for tea in the White House’s Yellow Oval Room and took her on a tour of the private residence.
