Former President Donald Trump lamented the effect his guilty verdict has had on the former first lady Melania Trump and his family.
Trump offered an update on his family during a Fox and Friends interview that aired Sunday. This was his first television interview since a Manhattan jury found him guilty of falsifying business records amid his 2024 presidential campaign, to which he has already returned. However, despite the press coverage of his trial, Trump himself is under a gag order that keeps him from correcting the record.
“I have a wonderful wife who has to listen to this stuff all the time. They do that for this reason,” Trump said “But they put this stuff in to create havoc. These are bad people. I know everything they’re doing, I know every move they make, I get it. But a lot of people don’t. But it’s tougher, or I think it’s, probably in many ways, it’s tougher on my family than it is on me.”
Fox News host Pete Hegseth asked Trump how his wife, Melania, had been doing since the verdict came out.
“She’s fine, but I think it’s very hard for her, but she’s fine,” Trump said. Then, Trump went on to give an update on their son Barron, who recently graduated from high school, saying, “he’s amazing” and has been able to continue his life nearly uninterrupted.
“He’s a very good student. He’s applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes, you know. He’s very sought after from the standpoint,” Trump said.

Ahead of the 2024 election, Barron turned down the chance to be a delegate in Florida’s convention this year.
Meanwhile, Melania joined her husband on the campaign trail for the first time this April. The first fundraiser for her husband’s 2024 presidential campaign was hosted by Log Cabin Republicans, an LGBT group.
