The First Lady of the United States suddenly makes a shocking statement?

“I would say, I called our president and said he didn’t know anything about this.”
Grisham told CNN that if Melania gave notice the day before the speech, she would alert her husband. “I would say I called our president and said he didn’t know anything about this because, at the very least, I thought if she had given a warning yesterday, she would have given him a warning,” Grisham said.
In response to a question about whether the president could prevent his wife from making a statement about her relationship with Epstein, Grisham said: “Absolutely not.”
Grisham further claimed, “She knew full well that walking into the White House residence behind a podium like this would definitely cause a stir.”
