When she was hired as the First Lady’s adviser in the White House, it was said that Wolkoff assisted in the creation of Melania’s “Be Best” campaign, and she also wrote speeches for her. However, their friendship started to crumble when controversies arose when investigations in the inaugural activities were carried out.
