Melania’s ex-friend ‘secretly recorded tapes of First Lady trash-talking Trump and Ivanka’, bombshell book reveals
MELANIA Trump’s ex-friend has secretly recorded tapes of her trash-talking Donald Trump and Ivanka, a bombshell book revealed.
Her former staffer Stephanie Winston Wolkoff is releasing a book which claims she has recordings of Melania deriding the president and his family, reports said.
According to a journalist Yashar Ali, the surreptitious tapes will be mentionedin in Wolkoff’s book “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady.”
The highly-anticipated tome will be released on September 1.
“In her forthcoming book, Melania Trump’s former friend/advisor Stephanie Wolkoff says the First Lady made disparaging remarks about the president and his adult children,” Ali tweeted.
“Wolkoff taped some of her conversations with Mrs. Trump, sources tell me.”
Tapes of Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry also emerged on Saturday.
Maryanne can be heard calling the president a liar and saying: “Holy s***!” were released.
Melania had some choice words for her stepdaughter Ivanka Trump.
“What Melania wants, Melania gets,” the tag line Amazon.com stated.
Wolkoff was the former director of special events at Vogue and met the First Lafy, then Melania Knauss, in 2003.
She headed nine Met galas and “had a front row seat to the transformation of Donald Trump’s then girlfriend from a rough-cut gem to a precious diamond,” according to her book.
The Stormy Daniels furore and the “I really don’t care, do u?” jacket will reportedly be addressed in the touted tome.
The description said: “How did Melania react to the Access Hollywood tape and her husband’s affair with Stormy Daniels?
“Does she get along well with Ivanka? Why did she wear that jacket with ‘I really don’t care, do u?’ printed on the back?
“Is Melania happy being First Lady? And what really happened with the inauguration’s funding of $107 million? Wolkoff has some ideas.”
News of Wolfkoff’s book comes after the bombshell release of a book by Trump’s niece Mary Trump.
It’s the second book about FLOTUS to come out this fall after Mary Jordan’s “The Art of Her Deal.”
Wolkoff was Melanias’s unpaid adviser in the East Wing of the White House until February 2018 and contributed millions to the inauguration.
She was dismissed via email.
“I am sorry that the professional part of our relationship has come to an end, but I am comforted in the fact that our [friendship] far outweigh[s] politics,” Melania wrote.
‘Thank you Again! Much love.’
Wolkoff told the New York Times last year she wasn’t fired, however.
“Was I fired? No,” Wolkoff said. “Did I personally receive $26 million or $1.6 million? No. Was I thrown under the bus? Yes.”
Now, The Southern District of Manhattan is investigating the inaugural committee’s spending and fundraising methods.
Federal prosecutors in New York began probing how Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee misspent $107 million after seizing documents from Michael Cohen, Trump’s ex-attorney.
April raids of his home yielded a recorded conversation between Cohen and Wolkoff.
In it, Wolkoff voice her concern about how the inaugural committee was spending the funds.
Trump’s committee doubled the amount raised by former President Barack Obama’s first inaugural committee.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post obtained tapes of Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry trash-talking him.
The recordings echo Mary Trump in her memoir ‘Too Much and Never Enough’ that Trump paid someone to take his SATs.
Maryanne confessed to doing his homework for him and driving him around New York City to try to get him into college” before she named Joe Shapiro as the man who took his exams.
Trump simply responded “who cares” on Sunday.
In another recording, Maryanne decried brother’s “phoniness” and called him “cruel” over his controversial migrant policies.

Maryanne said Trump had “no principles,” “you can’t trust him’ and has been “lying” throughout his presidency, according to secret audio.
Mary secretly recorded the conversations with her aunt and she is now estranged from her relatives since her book of family secrets was published.
“It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel,” Maryanne reportedly said in the recordings.
