BREAKING: Former First Lady Melania Trump Attacked Outside White House
Washington, D.C. — April 23, 2025
In a shocking turn of events, former First Lady Melania Trump was reportedly attacked by unknown assailants just outside the White House grounds earlier this morning. The incident occurred as Mrs. Trump was leaving a private luncheon with former staff and close friends.
Eyewitnesses say that a black SUV abruptly stopped near the East Executive Avenue gate, and three masked individuals exited the vehicle. Without warning, they rushed toward Mrs. Trump, who was surrounded by a minimal security detail at the time.
Secret Service agents responded within seconds, engaging in a brief scuffle with the attackers before they fled the scene. Mrs. Trump sustained minor injuries, including a laceration to her arm and bruising on her shoulder, but is expected to make a full recovery. She was treated at George Washington University Hospital and has since been released.
A spokesperson for the Trump family issued a statement saying, “We are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and the bravery of the Secret Service. Melania is in good spirits and recovering at home.”
The suspects remain at large. Authorities are reviewing security footage and pursuing several leads. D.C. Metropolitan Police and the FBI have launched a joint investigation.
While the motive behind the attack remains unclear, speculation is already swirling, with some suggesting it may have been politically motivated. Officials, however, urge the public not to jump to conclusions.
This incident marks the first physical attack on a former First Lady in recent memory, and security protocols are already being re-evaluated for all former White House residents.
