Documents ShowThe Department of Justice and lawyers acting on behalf of Melania Trump attempted to block an explosive tell-all book from the First Ladys former close friend and adviser, according to documents reviewed by The Daily Beast.
On July 7 The Daily Beast reported Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who played a key role in planning the 2017 inauguration and is now assisting a federal probe into it, would release Melania & Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady. At the time, a person with knowledge of the matter said that First Lady Trumps one-time confidant had signed a nondisclosure agreement for her duties on President Donald Trumps inauguration, as well as for her time serving as a senior adviser to Melania Trump at the dawn of the new administration.
The day after the Beast reported this, longtime Donald Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz, also now representing Melania, sent a letter to Wolkoff and her publisher, Simon & Schuster, saying the book was in breach of a confidentiality clause in a Gratuitous Services Agreement between the First Lady and Wolkoff dated August 22, 2017.
The Services Agreement prohibits Ms. Wolkoff from, among other things, disclosing her work for FLOTUS and the White House Office of the First Lady, as well as any information furnished to [her] by the Government under this Agreement, information about the First Family, or any other information about which [she] may become aware during the course of her performance, the letter states.
