Pictures of text messages between a Trump family member and Donald Trump aide Walt Nauta have got Twitter users wondering if Melania and/or Ivanka are implicated in the classified documents case.
Former President Trump has been indicted for the second time, on 37 counts, and will appear before a Miami Federal courthouse on Tuesday. His indictment was unsealed on Friday.

A photo of the indictment showing a conversation between Nauta and a ‘Trump family member’ has gone viral on social media. The texts say it is a ‘her’ and Twitter users are suspecting that Melania or Ivanka, the former President’s wife and daughter, knew about the classified documents.
“I saw you put boxes TO Potus room…WE will not have room for them. Plane will be full WITH luggage,” the family member tells Nauta, as per the photos. The Trump aide has refereed to the woman as ‘ma’am’.
“It was Melania. I was an ESOL teacher. That text was written by someone for whom English is their second language (e.g., “put boxes to Potus room,” “will NOT have a room for them”),” a Twitter user wrote.
“I will be very interested to find out the name of the Trump family member who Nauta spoke to about this. We know it’s a woman (probably Melania?)” another one added.
“The message said, “Good morning, ma’am.” What woman would be worried about space for luggage competing with space for classified documents in boxes on a plane? Melania? Ivanka? Kimberly Guilfoyle? Eric’s wife? It will be interesting to find out,” a third one tweeted.

Neither the DOJ, Donald Trump nor anyone from the former president’s family have identified the person in the conversation.
Meanwhile, Page Six, citing sources, reported that Melania Trump plans to ‘stand by her man’ during the proceedings.
“She is used to this. They are used to dealing with this stuff. Melania is standing by her husband, but quietly and privately. He’s been on the phone with Melania, who’s supporting him 100 percent. They both knew this — and more — was coming,” the source told the publication.
