WHOAH! Trump lawyer says Melania got a green card thru a PREVIOUS MARRIAGE!!!

When the media started asking questions about exactly how Melania got her green card to immigrate here, more questions began to arise. And now a Trump lawyer says that she immigrated legally – because she got a green card through a previously unreported marriage!!!

From Univision:

In an interview with Larry King Live in 2005 Melania Trump said that she had never been married before meeting Donald Trump.

But, Michael Wildes, an immigration attorney who worked for the Trump Organization, told Univision’s investigative unit that she obtained a green card four years earlier in 2001, “based on marriage.”

Melania and Donald Trump were not married until Jan. 22, 2005 at Bethesda-by-the Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach, Florida.

When asked to explain the marriage discrepancy, Wildes said he would seek clarification, presumably from the Trump Organization. He later sent an email saying “I didn’t hear back, sorry.”

As the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump has made immigration one of his main campaign issues. Trump has made constant references to deporting all undocumented immigrants and building a large wall along the border with Mexico to keep them out.

Wildes said he acted “on behalf of Trump models” and handled legal work to obtian visas and green cards for Miss Universe when Trump owned the pageant. He told Univision that he had been authorized by the Trump Organization “to speak on the matters concerning Melania.”

He said he could not comment on how Melania Trump became a U.S. permanent resident.

“Ms. Trump received citizenship in 2006 and prior to that she had a green card based on marriage,” he said in a recorded interview by phone. “Before that, she had a work visa and was in full compliance on her visas and never disrespected any of them. That has been made clear to me.”

Since the report came out earlier, the Trump camp has pushed back:

But if she wasn’t, then how did she do work legally when she took those nudey pictures?!

Now does any of this matter? Well not really, unless she was here illegally in any respect. But what DOES matter is if she lied to the American people about her story. AND, what else she might have lied about…

Stranger and stranger, these people…
