TheTimesreports that “a person close to Mrs. Trump said the jacket was actually directed at anyone — both outside and inside the White House — who wanted to criticize her decision to visit the children in light of theadministration’s aggressive immigration policies.”
At the time of the uproar, Mr. Trump, 72, tweeted that his wife’s clothing choice wasdirected at the “Fake News Media,”but Grisham said via a statement, “It’s a jacket. There was no hidden message.
