Melania Trump Goes After The Left-Wing Media Following Their Reports That She Is Currently Under Investigation

It was reported recently that Former first lady Melania Trump has responded to reports over the weekend that she is under criminal investigation, labeling them patently false.

According to The New York Times and Raw Story, Melania is under investigation for allegedly violating Florida laws governing charities.

Per Raw Story:

In a deep dive into how Donald Trump has turned his four years as president into a money-making machine cashing in on his renewed celebrity, the New York Times notes that Melania Trump is being scrutinized for selling tickets to a meet and greet with a portion of the proceeds going to a charity that doesn’t appear to exist.

While noting that former first lady has already been attempting to make money by auctioning off some apparel, the Times’ Shane Goldmacher and Eric Lipton reported that Melania has a “high tea” event scheduled in April in Florida that is raising eyebrows.

According to the report, “Mrs. Trump is now selling tickets to the April ‘high tea,’ with organizers saying that some of the profits will benefit an initiative of her ‘Be Best’ endeavor called ‘Fostering the Future,’ meant to provide computer-science scholarships to young people who have been in foster care.”

With details vague as to what portion of the ticket sales will go to the former president’s wife, questions are being raised about her “Fostering the Future” charity.

“Florida requires any organization that raises charitable contributions in the state to register. No charity with the name ‘Fostering the Future’ or ‘Be Best’ is registered in Florida,” the Times reported, noting that an official in the state says the situation is being looked into.

“Asked about the solicitation, officials at the Florida agency that oversees charitable fund-raising said they also could not find evidence of the required state registration and had opened an inquiry as a result,” the Times report said, adding that Erin M. Moffet, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services who also pointed out “the state law requiring charities to register before soliciting money.”
