Overview
- On a new Daily Beast podcast, Michael Wolff said insiders now describe Melania Trump as a “matter of serious concern” and a “real problem” in the White House.
- Wolff pointed to two recent flashpoints: her Amazon‑backed documentary and a press event where she denied having any ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
- He said the family’s push for ABC to remove late‑night host Jimmy Kimmel after a joke about Melania is backfiring by drawing more attention to her.
- The documentary drew scathing reviews and weak box office, and critics have accused Amazon MGM Studios of trying to curry favor with the president, a claim that remains unconfirmed.
- Melania long kept a low public profile, but Wolff said aides who once saw her as a political asset now worry her higher visibility carries real risk.
