'Uh-oh': Manhattan DA's Office seeks Melania Trump emails in hush money case

[demmiblue]

Between special counsel Jack Smith's 37-count federal prosecution for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr.'s 34-count prosecution for New York State, former President Donald Trump is facing 71 felony counts. And his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results are the focus of two separate criminal investigations: one by Smith and DOJ, the other by Fulton County, Georgia DA Fani Willis.

According to Associated Press reporter Michael R. Sisak, the Manhattan DA's Office is seeking "e-mails exchanged among Trump Organization employees and the White House" as well as "e-mails between Trump's wife, Melania, and Rhona Graff, a longtime company executive."

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, former senior adviser to Melania Trump and author of the 2020 book "Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady," responded to AP's reporting on Twitter.

Wolkoff tweeted, "Melania Trump used several email addresses, texts, and Signal to communicate with me and others while working in the White House and prosecutors want to see them."
