Melania documentary premiere live updates: Donald and Melania Trump arrive at Kennedy Center event
The premiere for a new documentary about Melania Trump is underway tonight in Washington, D.C. at the Kennedy Center, which was referred to as the “Trump-Kennedy Center” on official invitations.
The president and the first lady are expected to arrive soon.
Already present is the film’s director, Brett Ratner. Ratner is a controversial figure who has not worked in Hollywood since a string of sexual misconduct allegations in 2017, and was recently pictured in the Epstein files.
Also on the guest list are various media figures including Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, and former New York City mayor Eric Adams. A number of reality television stars have also been invited, such as Todd and Julie Chrisley. The multimillionaire couple were serving time in prison for fraud and tax evasion before they were pardoned by President Trump last year.
Much of the Trump administration are set to attend, including second lady Usha Vance, FBI Director Kash Patel, attorney general Pam Bondi, secretary of war Pete Hegseth, secretary of homeland security Kristi Noem, secretary of state Marco Rubio and secretary of health and human services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Despite the lavish premiere event, the film is not expected to become a box office hit when it is released nationwide tomorrow. It has been predicted to earn between $1 million and $5 million on its opening weekend.
