There is evidence that, in 2021, from the super PAC of funds Make America Great Again, Again, which were intended for the campaign of Donald Trump to push him to win the presidential elections, $155,000 was extracted to cover his wife Melania’s fees after she allegedly showed up at an event to deliver a message.
The New York Times newspaper reported that Initially, it was not revealed that said payment was for the former first lady, since the amount of money mentioned was part of the expenses associated with the “Designer Management Agency”, where Melania Trump is included as a client.

The truth is that this and other issues could become a problem for the former president who, to begin with, in the coming months will have to appear in a trial where he is accused of 37 federal criminal offenses for the mishandling of official documents of the United States government. Joined.
Nonetheless, Up to now, no scandal has managed to reduce the popularity of Trump who, without having Melania publicly supporting him, remains at the forefront in the polls. that measure the preference of the electorate.
