Melania Trump praises Kavanaugh, laments attention on her clothes
"I’m glad that Dr. Ford was heard. I’m glad that Judge Kavanaugh was heard," Trump said, referring to psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her.
Trump declined to say whether she believed Ford.
"We need to help all the victims, no matter what kind of abuse they had," she said. "I’m against any kind of abuse."
The first lady rarely talks to reporters, and she chose a historic site to do so, near the Great Sphinx.
Asked about her wardrobe choices, the first lady lamented the fact that her clothes drew more attention than her work on children's issues.
“I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear,” she said, before posing for pictures in front of some of Egypt's greatest landmarks.
Trump drew some criticism for wearing a white pith helmet during a safari in Kenya because of its association with the exploitation of Africans. That type of hat was favored by 19th century European colonialists.
