First lady Melania Trump said she isn't worried about claims that President Trump was unfaithful to her, as alleged by porn star Stormy Daniels.
“It is not a concern and focus of mine,” Trump told ABC in an interview set to air Friday evening. “I am a mother and the first lady, and I have much more important things to think about and to do.”

“I know people like to speculate and media like to speculate about our marriage, and circulate the gossip. I understand the gossip sells newspapers, magazines, getting advertisers,” Trump said. “Unfortunately, we live in this kind of world.”
President Trump’s lawyer and former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani has said that Melania knows that Daniel’s allegations are not true.
“She believes in her husband, she knows it’s not true. I don’t even think there’s a slight suspicion that it’s true,” Giuliani said earlier this year.
However, Trump said she never spoke with Giuliani.
“I never talked to Mr. Giuliani,” Trump said. “I don’t know [why he said it,], you would have to ask him.”
In the interview, Trump maintained that she loved her husband and that their marriage was fine, adding that these stories are not always correct and include media speculation and gossip.
