Despite Trump’s head campaign officers denying copying Michelle Obama’s speech, Meredith McIver, the Trump campaign staff writer who helped write Melania Trump’s speech, released a statement today admitting she copied quotes from Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech for Melania.
Meredith McIver has written for the Trumps for over 22 years. In fact, she’s credited as a contributer in every book Donald Trump has ever “written”.
Meredith says Melania Trump is a fan of our First Lady Michelle Obama, adding Melania read quotes from Michelle’s 2008 speech to Meredith over the phone to aid in writing the speech. Meredith faults herself, admitting she should’ve checked Michelle Obama’s speech prior to writing Melania’s speech to avoid the obvious plagiarism.
Meredith was so guilt-ridden, that she put in her resignation, but Donald Trump refused to let her quit, saying it was an innocent mistake. Meredith says she was driven to finally confess because the backlash from Melania’s speech was starting to tarnish Trump’s presidential campaign and Melania’s image. Read her full statement below:
