| Melania Trump pushes back against undocumented worker story | |
| Melania Trump, Donald Trump’s wife, has released a letter from an immigration lawyer that says she never worked as a model on improper visas. The question had arisen based on the timing of modeling work Trump did in the mid-1990s, before she had American citizenship. | |
| The lawyer’s letter asserts Melania Trump never worked in the United States in 1995 and in fact never was in the United States in 1995. | |
