Melania Trump in talks to revisit prenup agreement after Donald Trump found liable for fraud
Melania Trump has been in talks to revisit her prenup agreement with husband Donald Trump after the 45th President was found liable for fraud.
Donald, 77, is currently involved in his third bid for the White House following defeat to Joe Biden in 2020.
The former Commander-in-Chief is leading the Republican pack in a crowded Grand Old Party field as he topped the recent debate snap poll, despite not turning up.
A source told Page Six that the Trumps have been “quietly negotiating a new ‘postnup’ agreement” over the last year.
The insider also claimed that this is “at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her marital agreement”.
However, they explained the changes have not been made because the former First Lady is planning to jump ship.
“Melania is most concerned about maintaining and increasing a substantial trust for their son Barron”, the source close to the 53-year-old Slovenian-born model said.
They added: “This agreement was necessary because of the current legal battles... [Donald] has suffered”.

Barron, now 17, was born shortly after the couple tied the knot and is the youngest of Donald’s five children from three marriages.
A second source explained: “I know that she wanted it to provide her with more money, and also - from what I understand - there's a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.”
Donald is facing a number of legal challenges and could potentially payout $250million in New York Attorney General Letitia James' fraud case.
The 45th President was also ordered to pay columnist E Jean Carroll $5million for defaming her.

He pleaded not guilty in the case brought about by James and is appealing Carroll's lawsuit against him.
Separate cases surrounding Georgia’s 2020 election, the Capitol insurrection, classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home and New York hush money could also prove problematic for the former President.
Despite several legal obstacles, Donald’s third successive campaign appears emboldened.
RealClearPolitics' polling average gives the 45th President a 1.1 per cent lead over his White House successor Joe Biden.

He is also storming ahead of his Republican rivals in the ongoing GOP primary.
Victory for the property-tycoon-turned-politician would see him join Grover Cleveland as having served two non-consecutive in the Oval Office.
Donald joined a list of far from successful Commanders-in-Chief in 2020 as George HW Bush, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Herbert Hoover, William Taft, Benjamin Harrison, Martin Van Buren, John Quincy Adams and John Adams all failed to win second terms in the White House.
