In a significant victory for privacy rights, former First Lady Melania Trump successfully thwarted Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s attempt to access her personal emails.
New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan rejected Bragg’s bid to scrutinize emails between Melania Trump and former Trump executive assistant Rhona Graff, deeming the subpoena as overly broad.
According to CBS News, Merchan’s ruling slammed shut the door on the DA’s intrusive endeavors.

This ruling is not just a win for Melania Trump but also a testament to the sanctity of personal privacy.
As R. Couri Hay, a publicist who knew Melania before her White House days, told the New York Times, she has learned to maintain her privacy.
Judge Merchan also blocked another of Bragg’s subpoenas seeking emails between Trump Organization staffers and White House officials, along with more than two years of the former president’s travel itineraries.
In his ruling, Merchan noted that Bragg’s request would yield significantly more records than necessary, emphasizing the excessive nature of the DA’s probe.
Donald Trump is the most persecuted former president ever, bar none.
The left is even going after his family, including the former first lady.
Will he be able to fight them all off and remain a 2024 candidate??https://t.co/QbGNwHds4v

Kate Andersen Brower, author of “First Women: The Grace and Power of America’s Modern First Ladies,” echoed these sentiments, describing Melania as the “most obviously unknowable first lady.”
The former president himself acknowledged the difficulty of discussing the charges against him with his wife.
However, Melania’s response, as reported by The Hill, was simple and direct: “For what?” This reaction encapsulates her pragmatic approach to life and her unwavering support for her husband.
In conclusion, Melania Trump’s victory over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s overreach is a testament to her strength, resilience, and commitment to privacy. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, she remains an independent woman, living life on her own terms.
