LISTEN NOW: @SWWCreative, Melania Trump’s one-time confidant and author of “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady,” joins @MollyJongFast for the latest episode of @NewAbnormalPod trib.al/7WVQEGF
.@SWWCreative reveals how Melania threw her to the wolves.

“I should've known better. She is just like her husband,” she said. trib.al/7WVQEGF
So Wolkoff began taping her calls with Melania—calls which formed some of the bedrock for her book, “Melania and Me.” Improbably, Wolkoff and the first lady kept talking, even after Wolkoff was cast out. trib.al/7WVQEGF
“Taping a friend is, it's unacceptable. It really is. But Melania was no longer my friend when I pressed record,” she said.

“I don't think anyone ever regrets taping a Trump,” @MollyJongFast responded. trib.al/7WVQEGF
This is part two of a two-part talk with Wolkoff. In part one, Wolkoff took us inside the war between Ivanka and Melania Trump. trib.al/7WVQEGF
