(PatriotNews.net) – Melania Trump has reportedly declined Jill Biden’s invitation to meet for tea at the White House, breaking a long-standing tradition between outgoing and incoming first ladies. The former first lady, who recently released her memoir Melania, cited scheduling conflicts as the reason for skipping the meeting, according to anonymous sources reported by CNN. Her book has been a bestseller, demanding much of her time as she promotes it.
However, other reports suggest deeper reasons for the snub. One insider claimed Melania remains upset about the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in 2022, which was conducted as part of a federal investigation into classified documents. Though the case was dropped earlier this year, the raid reportedly involved agents searching her personal belongings, including her wardrobe. According to an unnamed source quoted by the New York Post, “She ain’t going. Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting. Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet.”
Another source told the Daily Mail that the two women have never spoken, and Melania sees no reason to start now. Despite efforts by Trump’s team to persuade her to attend, CNN reports that her decision is not yet entirely final. Still, it seems unlikely she will join her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, on his visit to Washington.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden extended an invitation to Trump for a meeting in the Oval Office. Trump accepted and is set to meet with Biden on Wednesday, just over a week after his victory over Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. The White House confirmed the meeting will take place at 11 a.m., as part of the transition of power between administrations.
The absence of a first lady meeting marks a significant departure from past traditions, reflecting the continued tensions between the Trumps and the Bidens. For now, Melania appears focused on her personal projects, leaving the political spotlight to her husband as he prepares to assume the presidency once again. Whether her decision to skip the tea is based on professional obligations or lingering grievances, it’s clear that the icy relationship between the two families remains unchanged.
