Both Melania Trump and her son, Barron, seem to prefer staying out of the spotlight, but they’re being called on to speak out due to their suspected knowledge of two different men who have been accused of abuse. People think Barron should speak up about his alleged ties to Andrew Tate, who was recently arrested on rape and sex trafficking charges.
Meanwhile, some people think Melania should say something about Rep. Max Miller, who has been accused of abuse.
One legal expert suspects that Melania could have knowledge of Max’s alleged crimes.
And her silence is really “deafening,” the legal expert, Michael Popok, said on the Legal AF podcast. Per RadarOnline, Michael mentioned how Melania was once friendly with former White House communications director Stephanie Grisham, who recently filed for a temporary restraining order against Max.
Her legal battle with Max is separate from the custody dispute and abuse allegations involving Max’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno.
Stephanie previously wrote about an abusive relationship, but did not name names. After she did so, Max sued her for defamation. Based on what Stephanie wrote, it seems like she opened up to Melania about what she was dealing with.
“Apparently Stephanie Grisham was friendly with Melania Trump, remember her?” Michael said on the podcast. “Used to be our first lady, barely seen these days. And Melania Trump, according to Grisham in her book, said, you need to go to the police. Where is Melania Trump these days?”
Michael recalled how Stephanie didn’t want to go to the police for “political” reasons.
“She, according to Grisham’s own autobiography, told Melania Trump, the reason she wasn’t going to the police was all political,” Michael said. “That she didn’t think that the Trump administration needed an abuse scandal while they were campaigning for election.”
But because Melania seemed supportive of Stephanie at the time and urged her to go to the police, Michael wonders why she’s not saying anything now, as Miller faces even more abuse allegations.
“Melania encouraged her to go to the police, then where is she now?” Michael argued. “It’s a deafening silence. It’s a roar.”
He also added, “Besides pointing an angry finger about her connections to the Epstein scandal and saying she doesn’t have any and requiring that victims take the oath and testify to Congress before justice is done for Epstein victims, she is strangely silent once again about Max Miller.”
Melania has made some public appearances during her husband’s second term, but she still seems to take a very selective approach to her first lady duties. She has sometimes surprised people, though, like when she made her statement about Jeffrey Epstein.
Meanwhile, Barron has also been quiet amid a separate controversy.
Barron might also be thrust into the limelight for knowing too much about a man who has been accused of multiple serious crimes. Yassamin Ansari, a Democratic congresswoman and a member of the House oversight committee, has called for “an investigation into the Tate brothers’ coordination and extensive relationships with members of the president’s orbit, including his son, Barron Trump.”
She pointed out that Barron reportedly “played a key role in facilitating, especially during the 2024 campaign, the relationship between the Tate brothers and the campaign,” so she thinks he should have to testify.
It would actually not be the first time Barron played a role in a criminal case. In spite of his tendency to lie low, he made headlines earlier this year because he alerted police that he had witnessed an assault on a video call. The man he witnessed attacking a woman was later found guilty of assault.
