Melania Trump declined an offer to visit the White House on Wednesday in order to meet with Jill Biden, citing the Biden administration’s raid on Mar-a-Lago as part of the federal government’s investigation into classified documents.

“She ain’t going,” a source familiar with Melania’s decision told The New York Post. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting,” the source said.
“Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet,” the source added.
Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump will sit with President Biden in the Oval office on Wednesday for the traditional post-election meeting.
Typically, the first lady hosts her successor for tea in the White House.
Melania visited the White House in 2016, after her husband won the White House and received a tour from then-first lady Michelle Obama.
In 2020, after Biden took the White House, Trump did not invite the Bidens to the White House before the Democrat officially assumed office, breaking the decades-old tradition, according to previous reports.
The FBI raided Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 in its probe of the 45th president’s alleged withholding of classified documents. In response, Melania condemned those conducting the raid at their Palm Beach, Florida, mansion.
“Yeah, it made me angry,” she said on “Fox & Friends” in a September interview, calling it an “invasion of privacy.”
FBI agents searched through Melania’s wardrobe, searched Barron’s room, and ransacked Donald Trump’s office.
Many Americans also believe that Melania’s lingering anger lies in the fact that Joe Biden had been hiding classified documents himself in at least two different locations, yet, due to his old age, the Justice Department refused to bring on charges in the same way that they attempted with Trump.
After interviewing Biden, Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report concluded that no charges should be brought against him.
“At trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur claimed.
Melania explained her frustrations further.
“I saw unpleasant stuff that nobody wants to see,” Melania said of her experience returning to her ransacked residence. “And you get angry because, you know, nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff.”
Trump’s confidential documents case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in July.
