As the hush money lawsuit opened, former US President Trump attended with his 28-year-old deputy communications director Margot Martin. What is striking is that Martin has an amazing relationship with Trump’s wife Melania similarities.
This time, Trump is facing a criminal trial for his involvement in the extramarital affair scandal involving concealing payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The historic moment marked the first time a former president stood in the dock in a criminal trial. While Trump has certainly been the center of attention during the trial, Margot Martin has also attracted a lot of attention due to her resemblance to Melania and her unique identity.
Margo, wearing a simple yet sophisticated black trousers, stood confidently beside Trump and accompanied him in everything he did in court. The trial was further complicated by the dismissal of more than half of the potential jurors over bias concerns. On Monday, Trump and Margot appeared together for jury selection proceedings in a Manhattan courthouse to face charges that they concealed payments to cover up an extramarital affair.
Margot not only works closely with Trump at work, but her personal life is equally exciting. A communications expert, she often shares her lavish lifestyle and travel experiences working with Trump on social media. From parties at Mar-a-Lago in Florida to attending various events with Trump, Margot's life is full of high-end and luxury.
With 29,000 Instagram followers, Margo is no stranger to high society life. She frequents elite restaurants, socializes with celebrities and even spends lavish vacations on Trump's private jet. A frequent visitor to the seaside of Palm Beach, Florida, it seems to have become her home base between adventures around the world.
Margo's Instagram feed is filled with exotic snaps, taking her all over the world from India to Ireland to Scotland. She has close relationships with stars such as Savannah Chrisley and Brooke Nix, and has been invited to participate in various top events. Her social schedule is packed, including the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, the Daytona 500, the U.S. Open and various UFC events.
As a sports enthusiast, Margot is keen on horseback riding and golf, sharing the latter hobby with Trump. She drew attention for her resemblance to Melania when she attended a Trump hearing in Miami.
At the time, Fox News anchor John Roberts mistakenly identified Margot as Melania and broadcast footage of her entering the court on live broadcast. However, reports later emerged that Melania was not in New York at the time and had left Trump Tower while the case was ongoing, ruling out her appearance in court. Roberts later admitted his mistake, explaining that on such a busy day it would have been easy to confuse the two from a distance.
Margo is originally from Oklahoma and served as deputy communications director for Trump Save America PAC before joining the Trump team. Her responsibilities included sending emails to supporters and coordinating Trump's national rallies.
When Trump entered the White House, she served as a press aide, responsible for issuing the final press releases for the Trump administration. As one of the few people to remain on the team after serving in the Trump White House, Margot has become an integral part of his team.
In this case where a jury of 12 New York citizens will decide the outcome of Trump's trial, Margo's presence undoubtedly adds a different color to this historic trial.
The jury selection process will sift through a large pool of people and may take up to two weeks. During this long wait, every appearance of Margot and Trump will become the focus of media and public attention.
