Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Melania Trump has decided not to attend the traditional tea with Jill Biden following President-elect Trump's meeting with President Biden, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts related to her memoir and lasting grievances over the FBI's raid on her Florida estate. Sources indicate that Melania's absence is not only a break from tradition but also a reflection of ongoing tensions between the two families after the 2020 election. This marks the second consecutive time Melania is skipping the tea meeting, as she did not invite the Bidens to the White House after the 2020 election defeat.
