After the inaugural hat, the official portrait. Once again, Melania Trump is telegraphing to the world that we should not expect first lady business as usual. But perhaps we should expect business?

Soon-to-be first lady Melania Trump insisted on Monday that she is “independent” and will stand up to her husband, saying she doesn’t always “agree with what Donald is saying” and she is more than “just the wife of the president.”

During a friendly sitdown on her spouse’s favorite morning show Fox & Friends, the incoming first lady spent much of her time promoting an upcoming documentary on her return to the White House, which was licensed by Amazon for an eye-popping $40 million and directed by disgraced Hollywood director Brett Ratner.

With President-elect Donald Trump's White House return just one week away, winds of change are coming to Washington, D.C. 

Soon-to-be first lady Melania Trump is ready to dive back into the role she occupied between 2016 and 2020, more experienced with the process and eager to expand her "Be Best" initiative this time. She discussed the Trump transition and how she offers advice to her husband in an exclusive interview with Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt.

After months of being conspicuously absent from the campaign trail, Melania Trump is scheduled to attend the Republican National Convention next week.

A source familiar with the convention's plans told NBC News that the former first lady will be at the four-day event in Milwaukee, where Donald Trump will officially accept his party's nomination. It's not yet clear if she will join the lineup of speakers at the convention or how she might formally participate in the event's programs.

Among the weirdest revelations at Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal trial in New York was this snippet from ex-lawyer Michael Cohen: The former president’s “locker room talk” excuse for the leaked Access Hollywood footage of him talking about groping women actually came from his supportive wife, Melania.

Cohen, who appeared Monday on the witness stand, recalled being on vacation in London with his family when dealing with the potentially catastrophic fallout to Trump’s then-sputtering 2016 presidential campaign.

Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, won’t be serving as a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention after all, his mother’s office said on Friday.

“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” Melania Trump’s office said.

Barron Trump is declining to serve as a delegate on behalf of his father at the Republican National Convention, according to his mother's office.

The Florida Republican Party announced on Wednesday that the 18-year-old would be among those selecting Donald Trump as the party's presidential nominee.

Reacting to what would have marked his youngest child's political debut, the ex-president said he was "all for it".

But former First Lady Melania Trump now appears to have shot down the idea.

Former President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, 18, has declined to serve as a delegate for Florida at this summer's Republican National Convention.

"While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments," former first lady Melania Trump's office said, according to the Daily Mail.

On Wednesday, Barron was elected as an at-large delegate to help formally nominate his father as the Republican presidential nominee.
