Melania Trump’s former aide to publish book on 15 years with first lady

A former aide to Melania Trump is set to publish a memoir about her 15-year friendship with the US First Lady.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff's book "Melania and Me" is due out on September 1.

She was reportedly forced out of the White House in 2018 amid allegations that she had been profiteering from Donald Trump's inauguration.

The former aide later told the New York Times that she was "thrown under the bus".

"In her memoir, Wolkoff chronicles her journey from their friendship that started in New York to her role as the First Lady's trusted advisor to her abrupt and very public departure, to life after Washington," according to a description of the book published by Vanity Fair.

The book will be on sale two months ahead of the November presidential election when Mr Trump will bid for a second term.

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton's new book, The Room Where It Happened, came out at the end of last month.

Mr Bolton accuses Mr Trump of wanting help from China to win re-election while offering approval for China's plan to build forced-labour camps for its Muslim Uighur minority.

He also backs up Democrat allegations that prompted impeachment efforts against the president.

The president's niece, Mary Trump, is in a court battle over her memoir, Too Much And Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man.

An Amazon blurb for the book says the author will set out how her uncle "became the man who now threatens the world's health, economic security and social fabric".
