Melania Trump doesn’t trust some White House staffers

“Yes,” she responded. “Well, some people, they don’t work there anymore. It’s very difficult sometimes, because I’m so busy with my office, I don’t get involved with the West Wing.”

Trump also said “yes” when asked if there are still people working in the White House she can’t trust.

“It’s harder to govern,” she said. “You always need to watch your back.”

Trump said she has told the president about her concerns.

President Trump blamed being new to Washington for some of his staffing decisions when he was asked about his wife’s comments in an interview with “Fox and Friends” Thursday.

“Are there some I’m not in love with? Yes. We’ll weed them out slowly but surely,” he said.

The first lady also told ABC News she wishes she had more control over her husband.

“Oh, I wish,” she said. “I give him my honest advice and honest opinions, and then he does what he wants to do.”
