KRON—The speechwriter for Melania Trump who admitted Wednesday to stealing lines from Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic Convention speech is from San Jose.
Melanie McIver, 65, graduated from Blackford High School in 1969, which changed its name to Boynton High School back in 2002.
McIver has even co-authored some of Donald Trump’s books. She is a former ballet dancer and has worked for Trump since 2001.
In a statement from the Trump campaign, McIver claims Melania Trump knew of the plagiarism before delivering the keynote address at the Republican National Convention on Monday.
McIver offered to resign, but Donald Trump did not accept her resignation.
