First lady Melania Trump used private email accounts rather than her White House email to discuss official White House business, says Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, her former senior adviser.

First lady Melania Trump used private email accounts rather than her White House email to discuss official White House business, according to her former senior adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

"Melania was never working on policy, no excuses. But again, a very difficult road to go down with as far as what the White House was willing to open her avenue to participate," Wolkoff told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on"New Day" Wednesday. A first lady is not a federal employee and not subject to the same law as those working for the President or vice president restricting the use of a personal email account to conduct official government business.

Typical

Just live the lady alone,for 4 years you been spending vitriol. Shame on you the fake media

Lock her up!!!

Well, well, well, didn’t DT say Hillary should be locked up for doing that😡😡😡

HHHMMM!!! LOL

We need to seize her server

Well if Hillary can do it so can we

Remember Trump wanted Clinton put in jail for her emails. Well, put his wife in jail for doing the same damn thing.

CNN has lost it

Does she have her own private email server?

This seems familiar. Who else used private emails to discuss government business? We need to make an example out of people instead of sweeping this stuff under the rug.

Lock Her Up! BeWorst

HILLARY USED PRIVATE EMAIL TO DISCUSS NATIONAL SECRETS

Lock her up! Lock her up!

Im reporting her to Judicial Watch.

Here we go with the emails again 😂

Well, if that's to be criticized, why isn't Hillary in prison?

Did the say she didn’t really care?

She’s a Trump. Of course she broke the law. No surprises here

You guys love to throw shit don’t you

Well. Her PRIVATE emails are DEFINITELY MORE 'PRIVATE' that the White House emails. Dontcha think? Yep. Private versus Public. Private. HANDS. DOWN.

Lock her up lock her up

Oh no her decorations secrets r out. Lets finish Benghazi 1st before u start cherry picking

Holy CRAAAP!!! Did she pulled a Hilary?

SHE IS NOT A ELECTED OFFICIAL

Sounds all too familiar.

Lock her up...lock her up... lock her up.. send her back to Slovenia..

The First Lady has official “classified” access?

BUT NANCY GOT A HAIRDO

Stupid story from a useless network. Whiles cities are burning you are reporting a useless story as this one. Stupid news. Democrat infested full of sh***

Russian sympathizer

LOCK HER UP!😂

Following Hillary Clinton path

Lock her up, lock her up!

yep- i'm sure she discussed really detailed nuclear deployment tactics ----lol. CNN going for the gutter - if you're uninterested in the SEC state, it's disingenuous now. She's not a cabinet member

So? She doesn’t work for the government. Of course the Trump campaign is a bunch of fat fuck hypocrites. But that’s not exactly news.

Needs to be investigated. Point blank

Nobody has been killed for that as in Benghazi.

That sounds rather CrookedTrump

But I thought that wasn’t a big deal? 🤔

But what about her emails....

But her emails! 😂

FoxNews Stop it CNN! It is sickening that you refuse to see any good in this First Lady, or her message. You gladly promoted and continue to promote, Michelle Obama's racially divisive comments. Could you possibly report anything objective?

LockHerUp

Does chucktodd know? He can build another career on email and email servers.

In the words realDonaldTrump for the EXACT SAME OFFENSE “Lock her up.”

Lock her up! Lock her up! Not really but couldn’t resist. Take her husband instead since he now stands for chivalry. realDonaldTrump HillaryClinton

“LOCK HER UP!” Isn’t that what Trump wanted for Hilary?

Hillary did worst!🙄

She must have learned that from Hilary.

What kind official business? Color of the new drapes or what flowers to plant on the garden, or wait...where to place the Christmas tree? Ooooh

No bid deal. HillaryClinton used it to transfer secrets to Russia and China. All is OK.

Lock her up

Lock her up?

Oh how shocking .. she must have been planning Baron's school year or emailing the decorator for the RNC.

Lol 😂 “Official White House Business“ ... like ‘Vaht I vant is to svitch de drapes from Burgundy to Teal’ OR ‘For de next event, instead of Cabernet I vant serve Rose’ 🍷 ‘ Of course, as we know, the Fate of the Free World 🌎🌍 rests on those choices

She's not an elected official, so... should anybody really give a shit?

Easter egg hunt

Wasn’t that chick a stripper in her home country?

I told her too but Nobody listens these days!

And she’s done so well losing her accent

Here we go again!!!

Melania doesn't have access to classified information.

Lock her up! Investigate the hell out of her🤗

Let's see what the Republican politicians have to say now, probably nothing because they are a bunch of fakes.

Not a surprise, but a breach of trust with the American people.

CNN is lying again.

Lock her up!!! Now lock er up!!!!!

Not like anything would be done about it 🤷🏽‍♀️

lol, CNN never seemed to be that concerned about that with HilaryClinton, Obama's Secretary of State, which had much more important secrets to protect. But of course, CNN will cover dems while digging to find any dirt it could to smear our best president ever, president TRUMP.

Russia if you can find her 31k emails trump will love you

Whats your definition of official business? Gardens? New Couch?

OMG! I wonder if the Russians will use the location of the hidden Easter Eggs from the WH annual easter egg hunt to their advantage. Oh the Humanity!

How come all these people have become patriots after writing a book. Was their patriotism on sale to not disclose.

I had respect for when she was nude in magazines, not anymore lol 😂 😂

but her emails

Of course she did. If the last names Trump they are breaking the law

It only counts if a Democrat woman the GOP is terrified of does it.

As long as she destroys them, no harm no foul... Bleachbit!

BuT hEr EmAiLs.........2016 will forever be a stain on America

This same news story has popped up in my twitter feed 5x today. Twitter and y’all are relentless

FAKENEWS

Well, of course she did. I don't expect that any of Trump's crew could even explain the difference between official and private emails.

realDonaldTrump LockHerUp ?

🤔 pre-election email drama?

Where’s the fire

Lock her up!! Lock her up!!

And she destroyed her personal server in 2016 when all this Hillary e-mails was were coming out.

Lock her up! Lock her up! Isn't that the appropriate hate chant for this?

Lock her up!

I would guess it is not an issue. Clinton’s always do that and the press said it is all okay and the FBI said no problem

No worry lap dances for all... I don't care do you?

She is not a state official.

Oopsie!

Stephanie is bitter and then there's Hillary and her emails.

Didnt Jared and Ivanka also get caught using private email?

UH oh Lock her up!!!

Was there any doubt? They all do it.

And yet we hear nothing about HER NOW do we Disgusting family living in our WH, makes me SICK!!!!!

This shouldn’t even be news, go write another story blaming trump or something.

Lock her up!

bebest = LockHerUp

It reminds me of sthg.... Oh wait, i got it. Once upon a time there was a secretary of state who used her own private email acc for CLASSIFIED documents on an open server. Somehow that didn't bother you CNN What changed now? 🤔

But the emails.... 🤣🤣

Just another double standard.

WHERE is moral outrage from HouseGOP SenateGOP TGowdy_SC DevinNunes over Melania using private email account to conduct official WhiteHouse business? You mean it was all just political theatre that you were completely LIVID abt HillarYClinton's emails? I'm totally shocked!

Lock her up... ironic isn’t it

LockHerUp SendHerBack

Isn’t this what Hilary did?

LOCK HER UP!

Biden sniffs children. Why don’t you guys talk about that?

Fake news opinion events here

So? What exactly is your point?

At least she isn’t Secretary of State like Hillary Clinton was....

Lock er up

Isn’t that what Private Dancers do?

LOCK HER UP LOCK HER UP Whatever happened to Trumps iPhone scandle?.....Where he infringed the rules 3x worse than Hillary Media hypocrisy Trump hypocrisy.

Jesus would wonder a) Why does she have official White House business? and b) isn't this what Hilary was supposed to be locked up for?

Wow!! Let’s see what the members of the GOP say or do about this one🤷🏾‍♂️

fakenews alert

Where are the outraged Senators?

BUT HER EMAILS

Let’s get a congressional hearing on this

Lock her up

michikokakutani Enough of this. It was her Tinder hook-up account.

LOCK HER UP!!!!

LOCK HER UP!! Right

Lock her up

LockHerUp

Those top secret emails about redesigning the Rose Garden.

lock her up

Just wondering out loud. Hillary was dealing with classified information, would Melania be?

They are all criminals. Who else have they stolen money from? All of us taxpayers, that’s who lockthemup lockherup trumpcrimefamily

Snarkolicious 'But her emails...'

LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!

Color of the Rose's in the rose garden? What secret stuff did she risk CNN? Tell us please........

So FLOTUS does the Hillary thing, but nothing to see here folks, move along.

“LOCK HER UP!”

What was the chant? Lock her up! Lock her up!

So what, it’s ok for Hilary

Russia!!!!

Imagine if she was secretary of state and all her emails were picked up by the comunist Chinese? Hevens ta betsy.

So, her senior advisor didn't advise her very well then did she? And the ex-aide should never be trusted with any type of job that involves trust, ever again. IMHO Hey Cnn, you should hire her.

Good for her?

That family of thieves do what the hell they want to do! CRIMINAL'S

Who’s the email lady now?!?

PENSARYHABLAR Lock her up

Cause I'm sure Meania has access to the nuke codes. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄Isn't her platform cyber bullying? Guys. you're starting to sound desperate.

I doubt that any of the information was classified....as it was on Hillary's server.

Lock her up, lock her up!

When does the FBI start confiscating her devices like they did with Hillary?

I hate to sound like a Republican but lock her up🤦‍♀️

But Hillary....

Oh for goodness sake. Just stop it- so you really feel good about yourself with these kind of stories?

MaryLTrump

CNN, stuff it

No one cares, no one ever cared. It doesn't matter how hypocritical they are. It will never end.

She doesn’t have to use a gov email account.

Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up

Karma has no timeline. It's a full moon tonight. The truth is coming out!

First Lady is not an official title. She was not elected or appointed. She didn't choose to be your First Lady unlike the power-hunger Hillary Clinton. People who can't see the difference are either dumb or evil.

Nothing classified like Hillary!! Correct ?

For the love of god. Y’all let HillaryForPrison off for this.

You hid a SoS doing official business from her home, then brushed aside her Bleachbitting 10’s of thousands of Congressional Sequestered emails. You are just firing up Trump’s base to get out and vote! LOL

It didn't bother Democrats when Hillary did it, it shouldn't bother Democrats now.

She is not the secretary of state department

Maligna FLOTUS of ImPOTUS, the Provacatuar in Chief.

Obviously it’s not a problem. Hillary Clinton not only did that, she took hammers to her cell phones. But we know China has all of Hillary’s top secret emails, don’t we.

So Hillary Clinton did it all the time and was never charged

lol This Trump Family needs to go !! PresidentBiden VPHarris

Was any of it classified state department intel? No? Ok.

do we chant 'LOCK HER UP NOW'

Sure, take a look at them. I'm sure they're just yoga poses and emails with her family. Just remember - she gets a free pass to wipe the servers, then smash everyone's phones with hammers.

LOCK HER UP

Hello my name is Melania I really dont give a fuck my house my rules...

PattyArquette LockHerUp DeportMelania

PattyArquette The entire Trump family uses private email accounts, despite being so-called White House advisors. But, you must remember the double standard. The rules don't apply to Republicans. Using a private email account is only a crime when a Democrat does it.

PattyArquette Lock her up!

So what! Hillary did it and nobody cared...so it’s ok.

In The words of her husband, Lock her up!!!

PattyArquette Where's the fucking outrage from the right....crickets.

PattyArquette 'But what about her emails?' Will Andrea Mitchell dare to report on this?

I feel like I’ve seen this before... but I’m not sure from where🤨

Lock her up

redwingschic I’m very surprised trump has not tweeted about this news.

Lock her up!! 🤣

The rules don’t apply to tRump and the Republicans. But you can bet that if a Democratic First Lady were to use a private email server, there’d be a Congressional investigation…

Okay cnn please cite the constitutional precept promulgating the duties & powers of the 1st lady; SPECIFICALLY what so called official business she allegedly conducted.

You all all complicit in keeping Jorgensen4POTUS from achieving the subjective bar set by the Fat Ass & Jackass parties. It’s impossible to get 15% if she isn’t in the poll. LetHerSpeak LetHerDebate FakeDebates

Lock her up! Lock Ivanka and Jared up too! Arent they still using private email as well?

LOL. Nope. Y’all have her confused with Hillary. How? I don’t know.

LOCK THEM UP.

'Her Emails!!!!' - more double standards, courtesy of the Trump regime.

Keeping up with the Kushners.

You know the GOP rule. Investigate.. And, 'Lock Her Up!' COme on Magats, lets hear it.

Lock her up hypocrites

But her emails

Best first lady of all time! She's amazing.

Last time I checked Mike Pompeo is Secretary of State... confusing I know bc both names begin with M

Lol you guys are bonkers

Hillary was Secretary of State! 10000x worse.

You lot are the last to be complaining about email after what you left crooked Hilary get away with.

Ivanka did it also, Same crap they accused Hillary of last campaign...

That SS uniform is very telling...fess up Melania LockHerUp

Lock her up

“Lock her up!”

Lock her up....

Lock her up!!

And. CNN is full or morons.

That's how she kept in touch with Hank!

Skank

oh wait... where did we hear that before? LockHerUp

Give me a $&:& break! You didn’t care when HillaryClinton deleted thousands of emails, smashed her phone or wiped her files clean on national security issues. But now you care about FLOTUS / what secrets could she be emailing about? Answer: NONE FakeNewsMedia

FFS!!!!!!

Anyone remembers this when it was being hammered at HillaryClinton when she was running for President? Smh. The Double standards get on my nerves.

So this is how Mel was communicating with Ron Jeremy . . .

So did IvankaTrump . They both consider themselves above the law.

BuT hEr EmAiLs

Soooo...now what?

But her emails!! TREASON TreasonousTraitorTrump

Well i would say..take her to task..but given history of how people like to handle this, then guess leave her alone. Same rules both sides!

And there’s a trail of evidence. Will the press and republicans give this the same treatment Hillary got or reveal their complete hypocrisy and lying?

Can you report something valuable? If not, being consistent in your reporting?

Pathetic. Scraping the bottom of the barrel I see CNN .

Unless she wiped them down woth a cloth only 1 placw for her to go.

DEPORT HER

My my my, is hubby Trump going to lock her up? Hypocrites to the core!

She better talk to hillary!!! CNN didnt think much of that! cnn enemy of the people, trumps nextvterm will finish your failing network off!!

Disgraceful... another threat to the safety and welfare of our great country

Let me know when she destroys 33K of them.

I'll bet you she never send classified information like Hillary did and look what happened with that the Clinton cartel bought their way out of it

Oh, and we are to believe this crazy lady No, she is a liar, just like CNN!

Speaking of emails. What happened to Hillary’s?

Lock her up !!!!

She looks really high..

Well this report also doesn't say that the First Lady really isn't a job and she doesn't really get paid to be First Lady. It's just a title and thing that happens to the spouse of the president. So if she wants to use a private email since she doesn't have a job. Up to her.

Cnn still doesn’t understand why this was an issue before

Lock her up. She needs to testify in front of Congress and there should be several investigations.

I think that’s ok because Hillary did it and held a much higher office in the White House.

Lock FLOTUS up!

You gotta be kidding me with this. CNN told me emails didn't matter when it was an issue with Hillary. You know, the lady that was an actual politician...

Is CNN really this stupid? Rhetorical. If it turns out to be a problem she can always bleach bit and hammer her phone and hard drive. Problem solved.

Put her in line with the rest. They are all hypocrites!

Questa sta con Tramp per dane'

Wow that sounds familiar. But CNN didn't care when it was the Secretary of State. I bet Mrs Trump wasn't using it to enrich herself like Mrs Clinton was. ClintonFoundation

realDonaldTrump show us the emails!

Wow, I bet she is the only person in politics that has done that....

The hypocrisy

FLOTUS... Lock her up

I don't care, do you? She's as useless as her husband!

Lock her up?

So did Hillary... so what does it matter

Queen of the grifter clan

Inaugural fund major crime nest

As I recall she doesn't make any super TOP SECRET decision! Remember what a ghastly dresser Michelle Obama and her wardrobe is! To classy of a lady to say it so i will! And to think the fashion magazines were fauning all over her? Makes no sense, but when do Democrats?

None of this adminstration thinks government rules apply to them. I'm beyond pissed off.

Lock her up.

1/2 Guess she didn't/doesn't believe what happened to HillaryClinton is something she s/b concerned abt. Well, Trump's h/b an embarrassingly 'free rein' admin to Amers as naturalized Blacks get shot in the back by law enforcement.

Lock her up lock her up

THIS IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!! THIS IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!! THIS IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!! THIS IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!! THIS IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!! THIS IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!! THIS IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!! THIS IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!!

Investigate Comey flotus

Pot. Kettle. Black.

What seems to be the trouble. Hillary did it and that was A-OK by you guys so I don’t see the problem here lol

Yall have a fluff article here. Yall wront nothing substantial, but thats usual. I really wish I could meet some of these shitty writers. Clinton was Sec State, Melania is the first lady, there's a huge difference. Also Melania isn't talking to others about classified info.......

HER E-MAILS!!!

What the fuck is CNN done wrong here lately because I know you ain’t fucking perfect...

Definition of bigot: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

When we get a Benghazi level scandal in the rose garden, I think it might warrant some attention.

She’ll be fine. I remember a Secretary of State that did that and nothing happened to her.

Hope the 'Hillary defense' still holds But the leftists might finally be willing to let her take the 'fall' if it helps Biden seize the White House.

'Lock her up'?

Lock her up! Hateful hypocrite!

OMG what else can you come up with cnn....

Wait till you hear what Hillary Clinton did...

I could act surprised by this but in reality, I’m bored with their gaslighting.

Great idea ..top lady

More fake news by cnn....report honest reporting for once

ComradeTrump FLOTUS realDonaldTrump GOPconvention TraitorInChief

She is trying to “get her some” on the side! Without her husband finding out!

. But.... Her E-mails .

Luckily we already covered this when Hillary did it and you insisted it was no big deal.

Just another racist, complicit grifter in the family of racist grifters. BeBestMyAss

Nothing will come of it..it's not a crime..it's rules that has been broken by pretty much every one ..no sweat

CNN getting desperate!

Wonder if CNN can find those 33K emails Hills lost?

LOCK HER UP!!!!

Lock her up

Does 'official' mean classified info?

If true, and I say if, after what Hillary did and the others who emailed her private server with code names and HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONSEQUENCES,, you saying this is a double standard. CONDONE HILLARY THEN MELANIA, Want to start over with Hillary?.

Can’t make this stuff up. The Trumps have their own set of rules.

BIAFRA must be free

Seems like child’s play now that so much worse has happened. But Trump repeted it about Hillary’s e mails hypnotized the deplorable with it, they had no idea what it meant, but now they could be openly racist so, hey, win/win.

So she did the same thing as killary

Accounts OR Server? Huge difference. Everyone has personal and a business email accounts. Very few have their own damn server.

What on earth does that woman need to be advised on? What a waste of time?

Did she destroy all devices that she used with hammers?

mom_voting LockHerUp Am I doing it right?

Lock her up!

Lock her up!!!🤥💯

.......lock her up?

This story is loaded with BIG news!! HINT - The part about her using a private email server is NOT one of them.

Taking notes from Hillary?

Now do Hillary 🙄. CNN is the worst of the worst

Hey I heard your beloved ChrisCuomo is a sicko 😂😂😂😂 !! My god you guys suck so bad :/

curls_toni2 Lock Her Up!

Oh this is an issue now? It wasn't with Hillary.

What else is new? These people have no shame about accusing others of doing exactly the things that they are doing themselves. Which is why I say they are not honorable people.

Another anyone seeking 15 seconds of fame.

I don’t even care anymore because nobody’s gonna do anything so what’s the point

And? You were ok with HillaryClinton doing it while she was Secretary of State. What’s the problem? Did Mrs. Trump delete 33,000 emails that were under subpoena?

So there’s no law that says she can’t

Really, this again?

Lock her up.

Yes official Easter egg hunt attendance business 😂😂😂😂😂😂👎👎👎👎👎

If it wasn’t classified then go eat sh-t

Lock this alien up

“Build a Wall!! Build a Wall!!” Whoops... sorry... “Lock Her Up!!! Lock Her Up!!!” I got my zombie chants confused...

Disgruntled employee.

What her emails to to kitchen about the nightly dinner meals or what theme the White House should be decorated is of national Securtiy concern ? It’s not like she’s in charge of the StateDept you know ? Lol

But Hil...... You Know What Nvm

Well she can just pour bleach on it and lie about it under oath. It will be just fine

Trump not for U.S. Vote Joe Biden for President

Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up!!!

It's a problem. That's how we accidentally bombed Israel & the UAE. Oh wait, did I say 'accidentally bombed'? I meant to type 'normalized relations between'. That damned auto-correct!

She had to plagiarize Michelle Obama's speech, steal Jackie Kennedy's fashion and pretends to be a citizen. She has no boundaries. Rules are a mere suggestion to her. And why not? Nobody holds her accountable.

Now they care.

LockHerUp

Who TF cares?

👌🏻💩

Lock her up!

She knows how to write Emails?

Lock her up!

DOJPH needs to get copies of all emails from her private server. We demand they be made public! We need to know the total number of emails! 'China if you're listening find the emails'!

Was it her porn site?

O really I know a person that got drug through the mud for years for doing the same thing. Ivanka also used her private email. Trump and his entire family are corrupt

Melaniagate

But her emails.....

Hillary Clinton had servers in her home where she sold state secrets to China. Anthony Weiner had emails showing crime against Children by the clintonfoundation Thought this was normal Did you research it?

Blah

Yeah, I'll get upset about this when Hillary is in jail.

Fifthcolumnblue Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock...

Hillary Clinton enough said

Read the story. In summation 'She didnt do anything wrong, but we're gonna act mad about it and put out provocative headlines cuz it's Melania, and we at CNN are desperate and we know we're screwed'

Lock her up
