Melania Trump remains silent after Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in his New York hush money trial, but her former aide says she isn't surprised.

Wolkoff thinks Melania may attend Trump's July 11th sentencing to act as a "distraction," despite keeping her distance.

[{"selector":"#anim-ea56f675-30fb-4bfa-a909-1527372a1300","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87936ffe-16d2-4442-949d-b8087d287092","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4f9f8449-857b-4d30-9154-3f58225c8639","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e88f781c-d477-4d25-9dde-40f5fba751d7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Melania has avoided courtrooms since the trials began, staying out of the public eye.

Wolkoff explains Melania’s reaction as knowing the nature of her transactional marriage to Trump.

Melania likely expresses her true feelings through her indifference and absence from the legal battles.

Wolkoff and Melania’s friendship ended after Trump’s 2016 election win, influencing Melania's current stance.

Donald Trump is bothered by Melania and Ivanka’s absence during his trial, missing their support.

Stephanie Grisham confirmed Trump’s disappointment, noting his other children attended the trial.

Trump called the verdict a "disgrace" and claimed innocence, with plans to appeal the decision.
