Former White House press aide Sarah Matthews has brought attention to the absence of Melania Trump from the ongoing hush money trial involving her husband, former President Donald Trump, prompting speculation and surprise.
In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Jansing, Matthews delved into the potential impact of Melania’s absence on Trump’s demeanor, highlighting his reliance on external validation and suggesting that the lack of familial support might be contributing to his reported irritable mood.
