Melania and Me is a book by the American business executiveStephanie Winston Wolkoff about her time spent working for and her friendship withMelania Trump, the then–First Lady of the United States. It was published on September 1, 2020, byGallery Books.[1]
Wolkoff's memoir details her friendship of 15 years with Trump that ended with her being fired after damaging publicity about the finances of thefirst inauguration of Donald Trump, which Wolkoff largely organized.[2] The book contains extensive direct quotes from Melania Trump; when asked how that was possible, Wolkoff explained that after her relations with the first lady soured, she began recording conversations.[3]
The Justice Department filed suit against Wolkoff in October 2020, asserting she had violated anondisclosure agreement by revealing confidential information acquired while working for the then-First company Lady.[4] This was dropped by theJustice Department in February 2021.[5]
