Melania Trump takes vicious jab at Obamas, claiming they ‘withheld’ information during transition in Donald’s first presidency

Melania Trump has accused the Obamas of trying to hijack her husband Donald Trump’s first term in the White House.

The incoming first lady made a savage dig while saying she feels more confident of her husband’s fast-approaching second term now Obama is not there to make things difficult.

“The first time was challenging, we didn’t have much of the information,” the incoming first lady told “Fox & Friends” of when her husband was first sworn into office in 2017.

“The information was withheld from us by the previous administration,” she said of Obama.

Despite the tension caused by the apparent lack of communication between the administrations, the 54-year-old said she now understands “the rules” and “process” of being in the White House.

“But this time I have everything… it’s a very different transition this time, second time around,” she continued.

Melania’s remarks come as it was revealed that former first lady Michelle Obama will not be in attendance at Trump’s second inauguration this coming Monday after skipping former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

While the former first lady’s team did not provide a reason for skipping the inauguration, Michelle Obama has been an impassioned critic of Trump, over the past eight years.
