The owner of The Hill helped arrange his wife's unpaid advisory role in Melania Trump's office
“Pamela was proud to help the first lady serve our country and the nation’s children in this way. For Pamela, this was not simply a very worthwhile effort. It was deeply meaningful on a personal level. As the daughter of a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor sent to the Auschwitz death camp as a child, she felt that joining the first lady in helping children, here and around the globe, was tremendously humbling and personally rewarding.
The arrangement had been in the works for months during Trump’s first year in office, as the White House untangled several potential logistical and financial disclosure issues surrounding Gross’ potential work for the East Wing. “She wanted to be with Melania more than anything in the world,” said a person familiar with the arrangement. “She wanted to do the work together. She wanted to create the initiative to help children.”
“We never looked into how Mrs. Obama paid her staff of over 30 people,” Grisham said. “Mrs. Trump does things her own way, as evidenced by the small and effective team she has in place, saving taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Finkelstein, who fielded questions on his wife’s behalf, characterized her work for the White House as that of an “unpaid part-time volunteer.”
