Open Up the National Strategic Popcorn Reserves

A former close friend of Melania Trump is releasing a book based on her time in the Trump circle. The book will cover, among other things, the way that Melania talked about the president and his adult children, and it’s reportedly based on audio recordings that were taken secretly.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was a friend of Melania Trump, and spent time close to the family in both casual and professional capacities. In Yasher’s Newsletter Yashar Ali writes that two sources say Wolkoff secretly taped the First Lady talking about her husband and stepchildren. The details of the audio are reportedly included in her upcoming book, Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with The First Lady.

…two sources familiar with the contents of her book confirmed that she reveals the details in her book including harsh comments about Ivanka Trump, the president’s eldest daughter and senior advisor.

And this:

New York’s Democratic attorney general asked a court Monday to enforce subpoenas into an investigation into whether President Donald Trump and his businesses inflated assets on financial statements.

Attorney General Letitia James filed a petition in state trial court in New York City naming the Trump Organization, an umbrella group for the Republican president’s holdings, as a respondent along with other business entities. The filing also named Eric Trump and Seven Springs, a New York estate owned by the Trump family.
...
The attorney general’s office is investigating whether the Trump Organization and the president improperly inflated the value of assets to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits. Investigators are looking into whether the Trump Organization and its agents improperly inflated the value of the Seven Springs north of the city.

There have been plenty of reports that Trump lies about is icome, up to and including committing tax fraud whenever it suits him.

Meanwhile, Melania uses Air Force airplanes to go to and from her hair appointments, instead of, say, paying her hairdresser to take the Acela down to the White House. One thing is clear: The Trump family will have cost the taxpayers more for their travel than the last two presidents, combined.
