Report: Longtime Melania Trump Insider To Release ‘Explosive’ Tell-All Book
A longtime confidante to Melania Trump who helped to plan the inauguration of US President Donald Trump is reportedly set to release a book with “explosive” revelations based on her 15-year relationship with the first lady.
The Daily Beast said Stephanie Winston Wolkoff’s Melania and Me, scheduled for September 1, is “largely negative” and “heavily trashes the first lady.”
A blurb describing the book cited by Vanity Fairy says it will detail the friendship between the two through the years as well as her “abrupt and very public departure” from the White House.

Wolkoff herself received $1.62 million, The New York Times reported in 2018. Committee officials told the newspaper that money to her and her firm was used to pay other vendors, subcontractors and workers.
