The former US president now faces criminal charges in Florida, Georgia, New York and Washington, DC

Melania Trump feels Donald Trump's latest criminal indictment is "another problem for her husband" as she continues to "lead her own life", it has been claimed.

The former First Lady is said to "publicly support her husband but privately prefers a life with 100 percent privacy and no press scrutiny".


As Trump continues battling his legal woes, his wife "hates all of the legal problems and says very little about them anytime anywhere," according to a source.

It comes after Trump and 18 others were charged by a Georgia jury for alleged attempts to overturn the election in the state.

The former US president now faces criminal charges in Florida, Georgia, New York and Washington, DC.

"Melania has a small circle of family and very few trusted friends," a source told People Magazine.

"Unlike others who belong to her husband's clubs, she doesn't rely on outside stimulants to guide her daily life. She has her son, other family members, and select friends."

She was last photographed in public running errands in Manhattan on August 9.

Melania was spotted out with her husband, Fox News' Maria Bartiromo and her husband Jonathan for a double date at Bedminster on August 3.

It came after Trump returned from federal court in Washington for an appearance related to the election interference charges.

Another source added that Melania prefers the couple's place at Trump Tower in New York City over the Bedminster, New Jersey, golf resort, as it is too hot.

Despite not attending Trump's post-indictment events or being seen on the campaign trail, the source said it does not mean she doesn't support her husband.

"She knows how her husband is but still believes there has been too much dumping on him and wants nothing to do with any of it. She leads her own life.

It follows Trump's most recent indictment which saw District Attorney Fani Willis announce the charges against the former president on Monday night.

He was charged with 13 of the 41 counts and if convicted on all charges, he faces more than 70 years in prison.
