Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s Slovenian-born model wife Melania ‘was illegal worker’
Revelation claims 46-year-old earned more than £16,000 without the right visa, but model claims she never broke rules
DONALD Trump’s wife worked illegally as a model in the US, it was said last night.
Melania, 46, earned more than £16,000 without the right visa. Slovenia-born Melania has always claimed not to have broken work rules in 1996.

The revelation will embarrass her Republican husband, 70, who is battling Democrat Hillary Clinton, 69, for the Presidency.
Meanwhile, a former topless model was paid £119,000 to spill the beans about an alleged ten-month affair she had with Trump behind Melania’s back in 2006 — the year before they wed, the Wall Street Journal reported last night.
But the story, paid for by National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc in August, never ran.
Pals of ex-Playboy bunny Karen McDougal claim the publisher hushed her up with a clause in the payment contract saying she must return the cash if she told anyone else.
American Media Inc claim it paid the model for other work and added: “AMI has not paid people to kill damaging stories about Mr Trump.”
Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said allegations of an affair were “totally untrue”.
