She’s not guilty of… skimping on fashion.
Former first lady Melania Trump was spotted running errands in New York as her husband prepared to host the Saudi-backed LIV golf tournament and insisted she was “100 per cent” behind him while his legal problems accumulated.
Melania wore white sunglasses as she strolled through the Upper East Side in a six-car convoy after traveling.
It was the most daring part of an ensemble that also included a $6,400 Chanel handbag in shiny lambskin. She wore court shoes by Manolo Blahnik, which retail for $745.
The former model, 53, frequented two business addresses, including one that houses a luxury salon, and wore her hair down over a dark denim jacket and white top.
In an interview in Bedminster on Wednesday night, Trump told Newsmax that his wife, Melania, supports him “100 percent.”
“She really is, she said the other day it’s just so sad what’s happening to our country,” the former president said. “She said it so poignantly and sadly — but she said it.”
Her walk took place Wednesday as her husband entered the driving range at his Bedminster, NJ golf club, which is hosting the LIV tournament this week.

Trump’s attorneys again pleaded not guilty on his behalf in federal court on Thursday.
The Bedminster Club is hosting the latest LIV tournament on August 11-13, just weeks after LIV and the PGA Tour announced talks of a merger that stunned the sporting world.

Trump appeared relaxed on the course, but he has some concerns as his legal fees and charges mount.
His lawyers again pleaded not guilty on his behalf today after new charges were brought against him in the investigation into classified documents. They were revealed in a stunning new replacement indictment filed by prosecutors in the case late last month.
Trump did not have to be present at the hearing before US Judge Shaniek Mills Maynard. His attorney, Todd Blanche, submitted his pleading before he has to fly to Washington for another hearing in the Trump case.
In July, prosecutors filed a new indictment in the case of confidential documents, accusing Trump and his associates of conspiring to delete surveillance footage, even after a grand jury subpoenaed the footage.
His attorneys are expected back in federal court in Washington, DC, Friday morning to face prosecutors over a protective order. US District Judge Tanya Chutkan will decide what restrictions to place on Trump when it comes to what he can divulge about the evidence his attorneys see in the case.
In its own protection order application, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team cited some of Trump’s recent online posts that Trump’s attorneys believe are too restrictive.
A fourth possible indictment is looming in Fulton County, Georgia, where police have been putting up barricades in preparation for possible action this month.

In its controversial first year, LIV was a guest at Trump’s golf courses.
In June, the PGA Tour announced that the two leagues would end litigation and counterclaims and negotiate a merger due to pressure from some of their top stars and fleeing some of their top stars.
It was about “ensuring that all stakeholders benefit from a model that offers maximum excitement and competition among the best players in the game”.
