Melania Trump teases memoir: 'I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts'

Melania Trump is teasing the release of her memoir, saying after years of "public scrutiny and misrepresentation," it's time for the former first lady to share "the truth."

"Writing this memoir has been a deeply personal and reflective journey for me," Trump said in a video released Thursday on social media.

"As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts," Trump said ahead of the Oct. 1 release of "Melania."

"I believe it is important to share my perspective: the truth," she said into the camera in the video. 

The 54-year-old former model, who married former President Trump in 2005, announced the publication of a memoir in July. In promotional materials, publisher Skyhorse Publishing called the book an "intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life."

The book is poised to include "stories and images never before shared with the public," according to its publisher.
