Melania Trump, largely absent from her husband's campaign trail, is set to make a rare appearance this month. The source tells CNN, she'll attend the April 20th fundraiser for the LogCabinon Republicans, a conservative LGBT group. She wouldn't have to travel very far. The event is being held at Mar-a-Lago. Cnn's Randy K. Has more tonight.

Last month, when former President Donald Trump cast his ballot in Florida's primary, Melania Trump was at his side. A reporter asked about her plans to campaign for her husband, and this was her response. Are you going to return to the campaign trail with your husband? Stay tuned. Stay tuned, she said. Now the former first lady is set to return to the political arena, not at a campaign event for her husband, but at a fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans being held at Mar-a-Lama ago, later this month. The former President has been teasing her return for months now.

She's a private person, a great person, very confident person, and she loves our country very much. She'll be at the appropriate time. She'll be out there.

While also trying to explain away her absence, as he did on Megan Kelly's podcast.

She's introspective and she's confident. She doesn't need to be out there.

And the only person who decides if and when Melania gets out there is Melania herself. A source close to the former President tells CNN that Melania dictates her involvement. She is very selective and methodical in what she wants to do and how she presents herself.

I think part of the The beauty is that mystery.

When Donald Trump announced his 2024 presidential campaign at Mar-a-Lago last year, Melania was there, but since then has mostly stayed out of the public eye. Leading up to the Iowa caucuses, her absence inspired a sarcastic Where's Melania campaign. As her husband's legal troubles mounted and Trump traveled the country entering not guilty, please, last year, Melania wasn't at his side. Even on Super Tuesday, Melania was MIA while her husband celebrated at their Mar-a-Lago estate.

I want to thank my family for being here.

Melania has been dealing with some personal matters, such as her mother's illness. She passed away in January. A source who worked with the former first lady told CNN during the 2020 campaign that Melania had never been comfortable in the public eye, and campaign travel was not something she readily enjoys, that she preferred to be home with their son, Baron. More recently, Melania has been focused on getting Baron ready for college, according to the former President President. The New York Times reports that Melania made a handful of appearances in 2022 that earned her about half a million dollars from both the Log Haven Republicans and a group called Fix California. Last November, Melania attended a memorial service in Atlanta for former First Lady, Rosalind Carter. And just last month, she made an appearance at a formal dinner reception for Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, at Mar-a-Lago. It's been nearly a year since Melania's last television interview on Fox. Despite her pursuit of privacy, she happily teased a possible return to the White House. Never say never.
