Melania Renegotiated Prenup Ahead Of Legal Woes, Potential Second Presidential Term
Former First Lady Melania Trump has openly supported her husband Donald Trump’s third White House bid in what would be his second term should he win next year, but she has also “quietly” taken measures to protect herself and their son, Barron Trump, behind the scenes.
According to sources who spoke to Page Six, she “renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with Donald Trump in advance of his potentially serving a second term in the White House. Over the last year, Melania and her team have been quietly negotiating a new ‘postnup’ agreement between herself and Donald Trump.”“This is at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her marital agreement,” the source said while adding that it is not because she plans on leaving him.
“Melania is most concerned about maintaining and increasing a substantial trust for their son, Barron,” the source said.
The source said that the renegotiated prenup also provides for her and involves money and property.
A different source told Page Six: “I know that she wanted it to provide her with more money, and also — from what I understand — there’s a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.”
According to the first source, the renegotiation of the agreement was necessary not only because of Trump’s mounting legal battles but also because of the possibility of Trump running for reelection as president.
“This agreement was necessary because of the current legal battles … [Donald] has suffered,” the first source said, which includes a potential payout in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ $250 million civil case against the former president and his Trump Organization, as well as a court order that requires him to pay $5 million to author E. Jean Carroll for defamation.
