Melania Trump releases more immigration details, no records

September 15, 2016 01:51

Melania Trump released a letter today from an immigration attorney that provided more detail on what she said was her legal pathway to US citizenship.

But the Slovenian-born wife of the GOP presidential nominee did not publish any part of her immigration file official documents that would put to rest questions about whether she followed immigration law.

The two-page letter from New York attorney Michael J. Wildes, who has represented Donald Trump's companies, also advanced an alternate timeline for a nude photo shoot that had been cited in news reports as possible evidence of Melania working as a model in New York City without authorization.

At issue is whether the photo shoot occurred in 1995 before Melania has said she began legally working in the US or in 1996, as Melania and Wildes assert.

The letter marks the first time that Melania has publicly identified the type of visas she held and gave specifics about her entry into the US.

Melania has often said she came to the US legally and used her story to defend Donald Trump's hard line on illegal immigration, an issue that he has made a signature part of his campaign.
