The First lady Melania&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/donald-trump">Trump</a>&nbsp;has penned a 'heartfelt' letter on the White House's official website asking the nation and the media to concentrate on more important things rather than books penned on her.

In her second letter ever, she started with talking about how she has recently taken the path of self-reflection. "Over the last couple of weeks, I have had time to reflect on many things personal to me. One of the most honorable and important roles I have ever undertaken has been serving you, the American people, as the First Lady of this country."

Melania Trump pens letter slamming Wolkoff for her 'pettiness' before US election

The US Justice Department has accused Melania Trump's former friend turned foe of breaking a&nbsp;nondisclosure agreement between the two friends for her personal benefits.

As per this accusation,&nbsp;Stephanie Winston Wolkoff — who wrote a tell-all book about the first lady — had violated the terms of a&nbsp;nondisclosure agreement, and the department has therefore asked the court to set&nbsp;aside profits from the book in a government trust.

In her book titled, "Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady",&nbsp;Wolkoff has discussed the relationships between the Trump family at lengths. The book has brought out a highly&nbsp;unflattering portrayal of the First Lady.

The Justice Department claims that the writer failed to submit the first draft of the book for a review, which is against the agreement.

However, Wolkoff has denied these accusations stating that the&nbsp;confidentiality provisions ended "when the White House terminated the agreement."

"The president and first lady’s use of the U.S. Department of Justice to silence me is a violation of my First Amendment Rights and a blatant abuse of the government to pursue their own personal interests and goals," she said.

US accuses Stephanie Wolkoff of breaking nondisclosure agreement with Melania Trump

A new book released Tuesday dishes on the supposed icy relationship between Melania Trump and her stepdaughter&nbsp;Ivanka, fuel for gossips eager to speculate about first family rivalries.

Author Stephanie Winston Wolkoff says she was once a friend of the president's third wife, also acting as an advisor until 2018 when she fell out of favor after reporting revealed colossal spending on Donald Trump's inauguration, which she played a key role in organizing.

Often portrayed as enigmatic, Melania's pouty pursed lips are dissected on social media and at one point the slogan #FreeMelania painted her as the victim of a difficult husband.

Winston Wolkoff, a former Vogue events organizer, describes a much more aggressive figure, notably detailing how she and Melania choreographed every minute detail of the inauguration,&nbsp;and prevented&nbsp;Ivanka&nbsp;from appearing in key photos of the ceremony.

The 50-year-old first lady allegedly nicknamed her 38-year-old daughter-in-law "princess," calling her and her husband Jared Kushner "snakes."&nbsp;

The book also leads readers to believe that Melania,&nbsp;who caused a stir in 2018 after wearing a jacket with the message "I really don't care, do u?" scrawled on the back to visit a child migrant detention center,&nbsp;might influence certain White House decisions.

Cinderella rivalry?&nbsp;

In a television interview on&nbsp;Monday, Winston Wolkoff criticised the first lady for not defending her against the accusations of overspending on the inauguration, adding she's working with federal investigators to scrutinize what happened.

The first lady's spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham has dubbed the book "wildly self-aggrandizing" revenge from a woman who joined the ranks of the president's enemies.

But as campaign season heats up, the book appears a likely hit.

Its release comes days after Melania and&nbsp;Ivanka&nbsp;exchanged what appeared to be an icy stare at the Republican Convention where the president formally accepted the nomination to run for a second term.

It's one of many "tell-alls" about the Trump family: the president's niece recently held the spotlight after publishing a book lambasting her uncle's character.

On Tuesday "Melania and Me" was in fourth place in Amazon's top sellers, behind a new investigation by a New York Times journalist into members of the White House who resist Trump, and a book set for publication September 8 by Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and fixer currently serving a prison term.

Americans "want to know about their First lady and, since Melania is someone who is really guarded, they want to hear more," said Katherine Jellison, a historian at Ohio University.

"A strained relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter is very much entrenched in the public's mind... it goes back all the way to Cinderella."

New book fuels gossip about Melania Trump's icy relationship with Ivanka

A former senior aide to Melania Trump has written an “explosive” memoir detailing her 15-year friendship with the first lady, according to reports. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was appointed as an unpaid adviser to the first lady shortly after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, and she played a high-profile role in helping Melania Trump transition into the White House.

A former senior aide to Melania Trump has written an “explosive” memoir detailing her 15-year friendship with the first lady, according to reports. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was appointed as an unpaid adviser to the first lady shortly after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, and she played a high-profile role in helping Melania Trump transition into the White House. But in February 2018, Winston Wolkoff was forced out after reports that her firm had received $26m in payments to help plan Trump’s lavish inauguration ceremony in 2017 and related events. At the time, Winston Wolkoff said the firm had “retained a total of $1.62m” that was divided among staff. She has since challenged the notion that she was dismissed and claimed that she was “thrown under the bus”. Winston Wolkoff later cooperated with federal prosecutors in Manhattan who opened an investigation into whether Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee misspent some of the record $107m it raised from donations. The book will be titled Melania and Me, and published by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, on 1 September, Vanity Fair reported. The memoir will detail Winston Wolkoff’s time “navigating the White House and East Wing”, where first ladies have offices (the president works in the West Wing). It will also include her “journey from their friendship that started in New York to [Winston Wolkoff’s] role as the First Lady’s trusted advisor to her abrupt and very public departure, to life after Washington”, according to a description obtained by the magazine.
