Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, recently claimed that the Biden administration tried to interfere in his father’s personal life—specifically by attempting to “break up” Donald and Melania Trump.
The allegation came during a September 30 interview on Newsmax, where Eric angrily rejected claims that his father used the Justice Department against political rivals. Instead, he accused the current administration of crossing personal lines by trying to “sour” his parents’ relationship. “They’ve investigated us, smeared us, dragged us through courts—and even tried to separate our family,” he said.
Eric described the alleged effort as part of a broader “witch hunt,” saying federal officials were trying to destroy what his father valued most: his family. However, he provided no evidence to support the claim, and neither the White House nor Melania Trump’s representatives have commented.
The accusation revived public curiosity about Donald and Melania’s relationship, which has often been the subject of speculation due to her low public profile since leaving the White House in 2021. Donald Trump, now 79, has repeatedly denied rumors of marital tension, calling Melania “a great First Lady” who values privacy.
Eric’s remarks come as Donald Trump faces several ongoing legal cases, from election interference to financial misconduct. Analysts see Eric’s comments as an attempt to reinforce the family’s long-running “victim” narrative, portraying investigations as politically motivated attacks. Critics, however, dismissed his statements as baseless and meant to rally Trump supporters.
Melania has remained silent throughout, staying focused on family life and her son Barron, now in college. Eric, meanwhile, continues to defend his father publicly, praising his resilience and leadership.
For now, Eric’s claim stands unverified, but it highlights a recurring theme in Trump-world: every controversy—personal or political—feeds into the family’s story of persecution and loyalty.
