As Melania Trump prepares for the release of her forthcoming memoir, she is becoming more publicly outspoken regarding the ongoing attacks on her family, and in particular her husband President Donald Trump.
Most recently, she issued a statement regarding the 2022 FBI raid of a private residence at the Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida.
According to The Hill:
“I never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America,” she said in the video. “The FBI raided my home in Florida and searched through my personal belongings. This is not just my story, it serves as a warning to all Americans, a reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected.”
Melania Trump’s video ended with an image of her upcoming book, “Melania,” which comes out Oct. 1.
Former President Trump has criticized the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago as “politically motivated.” The agents recovered over 100 classified documents and folders. Trump was facing 40 charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified records and attempts to obstruct the government’s attempt to return them. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in July dismissed the case, ruling special counsel Jack Smith was not lawfully appointed. Smith shortly after appealed the ruling.
The ex-president said in late 2022 that Melania Trump felt “very violated” after the FBI executed the search of their home.

She has also recently weighed in on the assassination attempt on her husband during a campaign event earlier this year. Former CNN host Don Lemon could not resist the opportunity to mock her in response:

This is what the left provides. No compassion. No empathy. No respect for human life. (They můrder babies, so of course they don't respect life)

Here’s how Axios reported on her announcement about the memoir:
Former first lady Melania Trump wants to “clarify the facts” about her life, she said in a Thursday video previewing her first memoir that will be released about a month before the election.
Why it matters: The direct plea to the public is unusual for the wife of former President Trump, as she has stayed largely off the campaign trail during former his current White House bid.
“Writing this memoir has been a deeply personal and reflective journey for me,” she said in the video.
“As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts. I believe it is important to share my perspective, the truth.”
Fox News provided some additional coverage of her recent outspokenness:
