Melania Trump will address immigration controversy, Donald Trump says

By Jeremy Diamond, CNN
Updated 0006 GMT (0806 HKT) August 10, 2016

Fayetteville, North Carolina (CNN) - Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening that his wife will hold a news conference "over the next couple of weeks" to address reports that she violated immigration laws when she first came to the U.S.

Trump said his wife would prove that "she came in totally legally."

The New York Post last week published nude photos of Melania Trump in 1995, quickly raising questions about whether the former model had obtained the appropriate visa to work as a model in the United States.

The Republican nominee floated the upcoming news conference just hours after he stoked yet another controversy by suggesting that gun owners could take action to stop rival Hillary Clinton from appointing judges who would infringe Second Amendment rights, should she be elected president.

There is no way the campaign would put her in front of reporters. I would be shocked if a news conference with Melania Trump ever happened

Saying in a cutesy diminutive way that she's
going to hold a 'little press conference'.
I don't know if anyone else caught that
but if I were Melania, I'd be super pissed.

Because they are women. So the press conferences have to be diminutive. Because he says so.

"We'll maybe have a press conference... if by late October I'm still running and we can figure out a good enough lie it'll pass investigation for a few days until the election."
