Former President Donald Trump will be spending his wife's birthday apart from her. Outside a New York City courthouse on Friday, Trump made sure to wish Melania Trump, the former first lady, a happy birthday.
"It would be nice to be with her, but I'm in a courthouse for a rigged trial," Trump said. "Terrible. We're doing very well in this rigged trial, and everyone knows it."
Despite her husband's criminal trials, Melania, who turns 54 today, is keeping busy. On Saturday, she attended a fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans, an advocacy group for LGBTQ+ members of the GOP, her first major political event this year.
In honor of Mother's Day, Melania is also selling necklaces she designed, with her signature included.
"Let's honor and celebrate all mothers with love and gratitude," Melania wrote on X.
Her husband faces 34 felony counts in his current New York trial on accusations of falsifying business records, allegedly to cover hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claims they had an affair. Trump has denied her claims.
