Melania Trump turned down a request to visit the White House on Wednesday to meet with Jill Biden, citing the raid on Mar-a-Lago by the Biden administration as part of the federal government's investigation into classified paperwork. "She ain't going," a source familiar with Melania's choice told The New York Post.
The FBI conducted the raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in August 2022, as part of its investigation into the 45th president's withholding of classified White House papers.
The source further told the publication that the FBI was given permission by President Joe Biden to 'snoop into her underwear drawer'. "The Bidens are disgusting."
Melania Trump has previously expressed her displeasure over the raid at her Palm Beach, Florida , mansion. "Yeah it made me angry," she said in an interview on "Fox and Friends" in September calling it an "invasion of privacy."

However after Trump lost his 2020 reelection attempt, he refused to invite Joe Biden and Jill Biden to the White House before the Democrat took office, breaking the decades old custom, according to reports at that time.
