Melania Trump Reportedly Declines Invitation To Meet With Jill Biden

Melania Trump is expected to decline an invitation to the White House to meet with Jill Biden.

The New York Post was the first to report the development and shared that Melania has declined the invitation to sit down with Jill Biden due to being upset over the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago.

President Trump and Joe Biden are expected to meet up and talk about teh transition process on Wednesday.

Here’s what Yahoo News reported:

Melania Trump is expected to decline an invitation to meet with Jill Biden at the White House, but reports differ on the reason.

The New York Post, citing an anonymous source familiar with the decision, reported that the incoming first lady will not attend because of lingering bitterness over the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer,” the source claimed. “The Bidens are disgusting.”

The FBI converged on the Trumps’ Florida residence in 2022 to recover classified documents that were allegedly being stashed there illegally by the former president, but a Trump-appointed judge dismissed the case last summer.

The first lady and her successor traditionally meet to help reflect a peaceful transition, but that did not happen in 2020, when then-President Donald Trump contested Joe Biden’s victory under false pretenses.

President-elect Trump and Biden are scheduled to meet at the White House on Wednesday.

It appears the former first lady won’t be headed to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for tea, however.

Check out what CNN reported:

Melania Trump is not expected to attend the traditional White House meeting with first lady Jill Biden, sources familiar with her plans said.

It’s a decision that underscores Melania Trump’s long-held willingness to buck tradition as she prepares to retake the high-profile – but unelected – role of first lady, one with no manual and an automatic global platform.

The sources cited a prior scheduling conflict for the former first lady related to her newly released memoir. One source said the decision had not been finalized.

Jill Biden extended Melania Trump the customary invitation last week as her husband also invited the president-elect to the Oval Office, a symbolic gesture to show the country and the world that there will be a peaceful transition of power – and an implicit rebuke of Donald Trump, who refused Joe Biden the same meeting in 2020 as he contested that election’s results. The two are set to meet Wednesday at 11 a.m., according to the White House.

There was discussion about encouraging Melania Trump to come to Washington for the meeting, as some members of the president-elect’s team felt it was important. But the incoming first lady, who spent her first four years in office redefining the role and what was expected, is laying an early marker indicating she will have even more autonomy the second time around.
