Media spent more time analyzing Melania than FBI spent on Clinton
By Nikita Vladimirov
Donald Trump on Wednesday weighed in for the first time on Melania Trump’s controversial speech, slamming press coverage and saying that “all press is good press.”
“Good news is Melania’s speech got more publicity than any in the history of politics especially if you believe that all press is good press!” Trump tweeted.
Moments later, he added: “The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania’s speech than the FBI spent on Hillary’s emails.”

Melania Trump’s Monday night speech at the Republican National Convention appeared to have nearly copied a paragraph from first lady Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.Donald Trump’s campaign has insisted the speech was not plagiarized. Experts said there is a 1 in 1 trillion chance the speech did not lift lines from Obama’s.
Trump’s campaign has strongly denied accusations of plagiarism, stating that Melania Trump’s speech reflected her own experiences in America.
Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson also defended Melania Trump, stating the concept “that Michelle Obama invented the English language is absurd.”
