Expect more Melania.
After Melania Trump was seen for the first time since hubby Donald’s indictment and arrest, sources tell Pvnew she has agreed to be a fixture in his campaign.
One source said her public message and appearance with Donald, 76, on Sunday came after her husband urged her to be by his side.
“He told her, ‘I really need you for this because we are going to be campaigning,'” a source said. “They had a major talk over the weekend, and she has … agreed to be on board.”
“Happy Easter!” the former first lady, 52, tweeted with a photo of a rose.
It marked the first time she had posted anything since Trump’s arrest.
She’d been notably absent from his post-arraignment speech at his Palm Beach, Fla., private club, Mar-a-Lago, last week.
But on Easter, the duo was seen together at the resort having Easter brunch behind a velvet rope.
They even got a standing ovation when they entered the room.
An insider told us of the holiday meal: “She wanted just to be alone with him; that was her request.”
The source added, “The fact it was the two of them alone was a big statement. This was a statement [saying], ‘We are together, I stand by my husband.'”
The source said of the velvet rope: “It was two of them and they had roped off the table. I think she wanted to show support, but didn’t want to have to talk about any of this s–t.”
Another source said the couple were then joined by Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael Boulos, as well as Melania’s parents for Easter.
A Trump source pointed out that usually the rest of the Trump family would be at Easter together.
Pvnew has reported in the past that Trump has attended Easter services at Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea and dined at Mar-a-Lago with Melania — as well as their son, Barron, 17, and other family members including Tiffany and Don Jr.
Another source told us of the couple after Melania’s recent public absence, “The Donald’s family and Melania are closer than ever. She’s happy at his new emphasis on family, and family life. She has asked him to be there for Barron, and he has been, and she in turn has told him she’ll support him.”
The same source added, “[Appearing] publicly during this [time] is critical … with regular appearances. The fact that Ivanka [Trump] and Jared [Kushner] have stepped away makes it all the more attractive for her to step up to the plate.”
Daughter Ivanka, a former White House adviser, has been supporting Trump privately, after she’d previously distanced herself from his latest White House campaign, we’ve reported.
Pvnew also revealed that Tiffany has been taking a potentially larger role in the family’s public life in the wake of Ivanka stepping away.
Trump is expected back in court in December in Manhattan after pleading not guilty to charges of falsifying business records, including making a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to allegedly keep quiet about an affair before his 2016 campaign.
Reps for Trump did not immediately get back to us.
Trump has strongly denied the alleged affair, and any wrongdoing.
His attorneys have told The Post that Trump “did not commit any crime” and have vowed to “vigorously fight this political prosecution in court.”
