Melania’s Ex-Close Friend Calls DOJ ‘the Trump’s Own Police Force’ After Lawsuit Over Book

A onetime close friend and aide to Melania Trump is accusing the U.S. Justice Department of working on behalf of President Donald Trump to sue her over her tell-all book about the first lady.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo noted the Department of Justice claims Stephanie Winston Wolkoff’s decision to write the book “betrayed” secrecy, which creates a national interest for the agency to file a lawsuit against her.

“The Department of Justice has turned into the Trumps’ own police force, unfortunately. I expected nothing less from them. I didn’t expect for them to waste taxpayers’ money coming after me in regards to my personal relationship with Melania over 15 years,” Winston Wolkoff said.

She added, “I think that they’ve opened up pandora’s box in reference to this contract and so there’s a lot still to be discovered, but it’s just, it’s so unfortunate that this is law and order, according to Donald Trump, which is actually a racist term, is something that he should not be doing right now.”

The Department of Justice accused Winston Wilkoff of breaking their nondisclosure agreement and asked the court to set aside profits from her book, “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady,” in a government trust, as IJR previously reported.

In a statement issued by Winston Wilkoff on Tuesday, she claimed she fulfilled the terms of agreement with 👤Melania Trump
