More Lying by Donald Trump,
Playing the system........
The type of visa situation she is describing does not square with the Trump campaigns assertion that she came to the U.S. on an HB-1 visa.
On Twitter, she posted a statement that said, in part, In recent days there has been a lot of inaccurate reporting and misinformation concerning my immigration status back in 1996. Let me set the record straight: I have at all times been in full compliance with the immigration laws of this country. Period.
She was responding to reports that modeling sessions she did when she arrived in the U.S. may have violated the terms of her short-term visa, which prohibited her from doing paid work during her stay.
The Trump campaigns official story on Melanias immigration to the U.S. says that she arrived here in 1996. However, a recently-unearthed trove of nude photos she posed for was shot in 1995. A biography of the former model by two Slovenian journalists backs up that contention, saying that she arrived in 1995.
