Melania Trump just deleted her website
Melania Trump's website has mysteriously vanished, and her former URL now reroutes to her husband's business website, Trump.com, New York reports. As if a recent plagiarism scandal wasn't bad enough, some are now alleging that Melania actually made up a detail in her biography, which might be why her website has been thoroughly erased.
Apparently Trump's Slovenian wife stated in her biography that she holds a degree in design and architecture from a university back in her native country; biographers Bojan Pozar and Igor Omerza have argued that in fact Melania only attended school for a year before she dropped out.
