I didn't watch when the shooter tried to kill Donald Trump

Melania Trump used her first interview in years on Thursday to talk about the alleged attempts on her husband's life. She said she did not witness the first attack live and only learned about the second on television.

The former First Lady spoke about her experiences with the attempts to kill her husband Donald Trump in a Fox & Friends Interview to promote her forthcoming memoir. “I ran to the TV, rewound it and watched it,” she said of the July 13 attack on her husband at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “I was only a few minutes late.”

“I didn’t really see [it] live, but maybe, you know, three minutes, a few minutes later,” Melania Trump continued. She said at the time “nobody really knew” what had happened: “Because when you see him on the ground, you don't know – you don't know what really happened.”

In an interview with Fox & Friends Along with her co-host Ainsley Earhardt, Melania also spoke about the alleged second attempt on her husband's life, which occurred earlier this month at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

“I was actually in New York City,” Melania said. “And I saw it on TV. And as soon as I saw it on TV, I called again, and it was all fine, because the Secret Service was great, the people that were with him were fantastic.”

“I think both events were truly miracles,” she added. “If you really think about it, July 13 was a miracle. In that sense,” she said, making a small gap between her thumb and forefinger to indicate the tiny distance by which the bullet had apparently missed his brain, “and he can no longer be with us.”

“I think something was watching over him,” said Melania Trump. “It's almost as if [the] The country really needs him.”

Presentation of the interview that will be broadcast on Thursday morning Fox & FriendsEarhardt said she also asked the former first lady if her son Barron was going to college.

“We were talking about Barron going to college, and I asked, 'How does it feel to have an empty nest?'” Earhardt told her co-hosts. “And she said, 'My nest is not empty.' I think she's very involved in Barron's life. She said she didn't put any pressure on him to tell him what college to go to — she let him decide.”

Co-host Steve Doocy pointed out that Barron is still “in the same town” as his mother at NYU. “Yes, but that didn't influence his decision, she said,” Earhardt replied. “And she wanted him to make up his own mind, be autonomous and stand on his own two feet.”

“I asked her if she and Donald had talked about having more children,” Earhardt continued. “She said he had talked about it, he wanted it at some point, but I was okay with one.”

The interview comes ahead of the release of Melania Trump's memoirs on October 8. MelaniaThe Fox News appearance is the culmination of a recent spate of promotional activity for the book, during which Trump has repeatedly commented on her work as a nude model and claimed that “the truth” about the first attempt on her husband's life has yet to be revealed.

“I think it's time to tell my story and the truth,” Melania said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, adding that “a lot of misinformation and untruths” have been written about her. “I want to set the record straight and people can learn things that have never been talked about and I hope they enjoy the book.”
