Vanessa Trump Files for Divorce from Donald Trump, Jr.

Source: Huffington Post

Vanessa Trump filed for divorce from her husband, Donald Trump Jr., on Thursday afternoon, according to multiple reports.

Vanessa filed for an uncontested proceeding with the Manhattan Supreme Court, Page Six reported. The outlet initially reported on the pairs marital problems on Wednesday, citing multiple unnamed sources who claimed the couple have been living separate lives.

Sources told the New York tabloid that friends were increasingly concerned over Trump Jr.s online behavior, including liking tweets by conspiracy theorists criticizing a teenage survivor of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting.

President Donald Trumps daughter-in-law was hospitalized in February after a Massachusetts man sent an envelope of white powder to the couples Trump Tower residence in New York City. Upon examination, the powder was discovered to be non-hazardous.

She's smart to get out while Jr. still has something to lose. Once she has to testify, her NDA won't be worth as much as it would be right now.


And from the NY Daily News:

Nancy Chemtob, who previously represented Matt Lauer's wife, Annette Roque, said the "uncontested" filing did not guarantee the divorce would remain that way.

The divorce came on the same day The New York Times reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had served subpoenas on the Trump Organization for any internal documents related to Russia.

Chemtob said it was possible that Mueller's investigation into interference in the 2016 election played a role in the timing of the divorce.

(Vanessa) may want to distance herself as much as possible from the investigation, she said.

Nobody should be sending powders through the mail.

No - we can take down the whole GOP the RIGHT way - at the polls.

We, none of us, have any business resorting to stuff like this.

They nabbed him at the beginning of March, for sending five of these letters.


Federal authorities said one of the letters containing powder was sent to Antonio Sabato Jr., the Republican former underwear model and soap opera actor who is running for a U.S. House seat in California.

Other recipients were Debbie Stabenow, the Democratic U.S. senator from Michigan; Nicola Hanna, an interim U.S. attorney in California; and Michele Dauber, a Stanford University law professor who has promoted the effort to recall the judge who presided over the Brock Turner sexual assault case.

I wonder if she is speeding up the divorce in order to get $ before they all go to RICO. If we have any lawyers out there, would her settlement be subject to RICO based on Jr’s misdeeds?

Whatever would make her want to leave that "hunka hunka burning love"? LOL

He's a hideous human being who proves the saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I hope she takes him for everything and then spills the beans.

on the heels of the subpoena to tRump Organization. Looks like the kids are doing a little asset shifting in a sham divorce before Muller and the IRS
get there. Darling bride claims "innocent spouse" defense and keeps the loot.

that it's a sham divorce.

Why would any sane person want to be married to DJT, Jr?
