AceShowbiz - Melania Trump has declined an offer to attend a meeting at the White House with Jill Biden, scheduled for Wednesday, November 13. The meeting, a customary event during presidential transitions, is intended to facilitate a smooth handover of responsibilities. However, Melania Trump has chosen not to participate, citing the FBI raid on her husband's Mar-a-Lago property in August 2022.

A source familiar with Melania Trump's decision told The New York Post, "She ain't going. Jill Biden's husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting."

This decision marks a departure from the tradition of first ladies meeting for tea and a tour of the White House during presidential transitions. The tradition dates back to 1952 when Bess Truman invited Mamie Eisenhower to visit the premises. In 2020, Melania Trump broke with this custom by not inviting Jill Biden to the White House following her husband's election victory.

Melania Trump's reported grievance stems from an FBI raid on her Mar-a-Lago residence, which included a search of her wardrobe and the rooms of her teenage son, Barron. In an interview with "FOX & Friends", Melania Trump expressed her anger over the raid, calling it an "invasion of privacy."

The FBI raid was part of an investigation into Donald Trump's handling of classified documents after leaving the White House. The investigation was subsequently dropped in July.

Despite efforts by Trump's team to persuade her to reconsider, sources told CNN that Melania Trump's decision remains final. The snub has drawn criticism from those who believe it perpetuates the feud between the incoming and outgoing first ladies and breaks with tradition.
