Hayley D’Antuono, who served for four years as the former first lady’s director of operations and trip supervisor is now reportedly Melania’s chief of staff.
A low-level staff assistant in the East Wing, Mary “Casey” Finzer, whose tasks included keeping stock of Trump’s “gift closet,” is now a part of the operational and administrative side of the former first lady’s team.
And an unpaid senior advisor to the former FLOTUS when she was in the White House, Marcia Kelly, is also going to reportedly be part of the post-White House office. However, it is unclear if she will be receiving a salary this time.
Sources also shared that Melania is currently running the post-White House office out of former President Donald Trump’s club, Mar-a-Lago, but is currently searching for office space in the area.
