Former First Lady Melania Trump is slamming her former chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, for claiming Trump did not want to speak out against the violence unfolding at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and, in fact, says Grisham is guilty of “dereliction of duty” for not informing her boss about the event.

The first lady defended her duties on January 6 in a statement posted on social media:
On January 6 2021, I was fulfilling one of my duties as First Lady of the United States of America, and accordingly, I was unaware of what was simultaneously transpiring at the US Capitol building.
As with all First Ladies who preceded me, it was my obligation to record the contents of the White House’s historic rooms, including taking archival photographs of all the renovations. Several months in advance, I organized a qualified team of photographers, archivists, and designers to work with me in the White House to ensure perfect execution. As required, we scheduled January 6, 2021 to complete the work on behalf of our Nation. This is a very significant undertaking and requires great care, attention to detail, and concentration—both in the planning and execution.
I have always been very supportive of my former Chief of Staff, Stephanie Grisham. I stood behind Miss Grisham after her failed stint as White House Press Secretary and welcomed her back to the East Wing.
Mrs. Grisham was not in the White House on January 6, and her behavior in her role as Chief of Staff ultimately amounts to dereliction of duty. Traditionally, the First Lady’s Chief of Staff provides detailed briefings surrounding our Nation’s important issues.

How many statements did Democrat politicians issue condemning the BLM violence of 2020? None that I am aware of, and this went on for weeks. Instead, they issued statements of support, and corporate money poured into the BLM bank account.
How was she supposed to know? There was no fire or looting.
It is evident that Grisham’s recent betrayals are a last-ditch attempt to resuscitate her ruined career and reputation.
Well she’s always got a circus side show gig to fall back on....they always need short clowns in the show.
Melania’s signature is a lot like her husbands.
“ how can you be oblivious to what was going on, and being told what was happening and no make a comment.”
Perhaps because you do no want to be held accountable for a comment you make after hearing one person’s take on it?
