Melania Trump calls her husband’s survival of assassination attempts ‘miracles’

In her first interview in more than two years, former First Lady Melania Trump said she saw her husband's survival in two attempts on his life as "miracles" and offered new details about the former president, including his desire to have more children.

She has stayed largely absent from the campaign trail, breaking norms in not speaking at the Republican National Convention and skipping key moments for her husband, Donald Trump, including his primary-night victory parties and court appearances in New York and Florida. Melania Trump speaks during the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in 2016. The former First Lady has been notably quiet dur...
