First lady Melania Trump brushed aside allegations of infidelity by her husband and said her marriage with President Trump is “fine” during a television interview broadcast Friday.

“It is not a concern and focus of mine,” she told ABC News when asked about allegations of infidelity. “I’m a mother and first lady, and I have much more important things to think about and to do. I know people like to speculate and media like to speculate about our marriage.”

The issue of President Donald Trump’s fidelity came to the fore with allegations by adult film actress Stormy Daniels that they had a decade-old affair. Trump lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 shortly before the 2016 election to remain silent about the alleged tryst. Trump has acknowledged reimbursing Cohen but denied the affair.
