Donald Trump Has A Melania Look-alike By His Side During Hush Money Trial: Who Is She?

Donald Trump was accompanied by a gorgeous staffer, who has drawn comparisons to his wife Melania Trump, to his New York hush money trial this week.

Margo Martin garnered attention online after she was spotted by Trump's side when he entered the Manhattan courtroom Monday to face trial on charges related to hush money he allegedly paid to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to keep silent about their alleged affair. Trump has denied the affair and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Photos obtained by the New York Post showed the 28-year-old deputy communications chief looking stunning in a black pantsuit with gold buttons inside the courthouse.

Martin sat with Trump senior adviser Jason Miller in the courtroom as jury selection kicked off Monday.

On Thursday, she was also photographed stepping out to accompany her boss to the trial.

In photos published by the Daily Mail, Martin looked chic in a black-and-white polka dot shirt, black J.Crew pants, and Burberry trench coat.

She paired the look with stud earrings and carried a pair of black stilettos in her hand.

Since Trump's hush money trial began Monday, a number of users on X, formerly Twitter, have commented on Martin's resemblance to Melania.

"He has a type. Trump's Deputy Communications Chief, Margo Martin, who accompanied him to court today. Notably, Melania wasn't there," wrote Mike Sington, a former senior executive at NBCUniversal.

"It's weird how the only women he hires look like younger versions of his wife," another X user commented.

A third person called her "Fake Melania."

Martin first gained attention last year when Fox News anchor John Roberts mistook her for Melania when she entered a Florida courthouse for Trump's arraignment in a different case.

"We have some video that we want to play out here, Melania Trump entering the courthouse just a short time ago," Roberts told viewers at the time as he showed a clip of Martin walking into the building.

However, Melania was in New York City at the time, the Daily Mail earlier reported.

Roberts later admitted that he had made a mistake and apologized.

"Apparently it was not Melania, so apologies for that," the news anchor said, as seen in a clip shared by reporter Justin Baragona on X. "A day like today with so many comings and goings, it's easy from a distance to mistake two people."

Martin previously worked as a press assistant to Trump during his presidency. The Oklahoma native was the communications aide responsible for giving the final press lid for the Trump administration, The Mirror reported.

When Trump left the White House in January 2021, Martin posted a photo of her with the former president at the White House and shared an emotional message about her time there.

"it's impossible to adequately put into words -- a goodbye that thoroughly thanks the people, memories and place that gave my life immeasurable purpose and happiness. The days were long, but the years were short," Martin wrote.

She continued, "To all of those I worked, traveled, laughed and cried with...What I wouldn't do for one more walk around the West Wing with you. You made this House a home. Here's to the future...The best is yet to come."

After Trump lost the 2020 election, Martin took on the role of deputy director of communications for his Save America PAC.

Martin has since become a key part of the GOP 2024 presidential candidate's team.

Over the years, she has posted numerous photos with Trump at galas, trips, and various events on her Instagram, where she has nearly 40,000 followers.

Martin also uploads photos showing off her lavish lifestyle and glamorous outfits.

She also regularly shares updates about Trump on X.
