Melania spokeswoman blasts 'salacious' reports as 'fake news' [View all]

Source: The Hill

BY JOHN BOWDEN - 01/26/18 04:51 PM EST

A spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump lashed out at the media for "tabloid" reporting that about she says has "seeped into 'main stream' reporting."

In a tweet Friday afternoon that did not mention a specific report, Trump's spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham accused news outlets of "salacious & false reporting," and referred to some outlets as "fake news."




The tweet from Grisham came just hours after the United Kingdom-based Daily Mail published a report claiming the first lady was spending nights in a D.C. hotel following news reports alleging that President Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen arranged a $130,000 payment to a porn star for her silence concerning an affair with Trump.

The first lady originally planned to accompany her husband to Davos, Switzerland, this week for the World Economic Forum but instead remained behind.
