Meet Margo Martin, the gorgeous deputy communications chief who was mistaken for Melania

June 14, 2023 | | Print Article

Fox News accidentally mistook former President Donald Trump’s 27-year-old deputy communications chief for his wife, Melania.

The mistake occurred as Trump’s motorcade pulled up to the Miami courthouse this Tuesday so that the former president could plead not guilty to charges related to the classified documents scandal and indictment.

As the motorcade pulled up, Fox News’ John Roberts spotted communications chief Margo Martin but mistook her for Melania.

“We have some video that we want to play out here: Melania Trump entering the courthouse just a short time ago. There she is,” he said.

“Melania Trump arrives at Miami court,” the chyron meanwhile read.

Shortly thereafter, Roberts issued a correction once he realized a mistake had been made.

“So we just want to clarify something, Byron. We thought that was Melania Trump who was arriving. Apparently, it was not Melania. A day like today with so many comings and goings, it’s easy from a distance to mistake two people,” he said.

So where was Melania anyway? In New York, according to the Daily Mail.

As for Martin, who is she exactly?

“Martin has worked for Trump since his days in the White House and was the press secretary to call the final lid on his presidency on January 19, 2021,” Insider notes.

But there’s more.

“She may also be caught up in his latest legal troubles. … Martin was present at a July 2021 meeting where prosecutors allege Trump waved around a classified battle plan in front of an author and publisher. Audio of the meeting — where prosecutors say Trump told his visitors ‘This is secret information. Look, look at this.’ — was turned over to federal investigators by an unnamed source,” according to Insider.

Because of her resemblance to Trump’s wife, Martin has since earned the nickname “fake Melania” from Twitter critics.

Martin previously made headlines at the start of the month when Newsweek reported that her laptop “could hold [a] treasure trove of Donald Trump recordings.”

“Reports that prosecutors have obtained a recording of Donald Trump admitting he kept hold of a classified document after he left the White House has raised speculation on how much further evidence could be retrieved from a laptop belonging to an aide of the former president,” according to Newsweek.

“Martin, a former deputy director of communications for Trump’s Save America PAC who now works on his 2024 campaign, testified to a special grand jury in March as part of the classified documents probe after having her laptop and phones imaged by prosecutors in January,” as reported by Newsweek.

What else is there to know about her? She’s active on both Twitter and Instagram, where she frequently posts photos of the former president:

Moreover, her sister is a morning anchor for NewsNation.

This isn’t the first time the notion of a “fake Melania” has emerged. Back in the early part of Trump’s presidency, conspiracy theorists claimed that the real Melania had been replaced by a body double, i.e., by a “fake Melania.”
