MELANIA TRUMP: “PUTIN WANTS TO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH ME!”

Melania Trump stunned reporters during a surprise White House announcement — claiming Vladimir Putin personally wrote her a letter, saying he wanted to “deal directly” with her regarding Ukrainian children taken to Russia.

The First Lady revealed that secret back-channel discussions have already led to the return of eight children to their families in Ukraine. The letter, delivered to Putin during the Alaska summit with Trump in August, reportedly opened an “unexpected line of communication” between Melania and the Kremlin.

Global leaders are now questioning how deep this “direct channel” really goes.
