Washington (CNN) First lady Melania Trump penned an essay on the White House website on Friday that railed against what she described as the "pettiness" of the media and ex-friend and former adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. This is the second personal essay Trump has written in recent days. But with the new essay, Trump is in actuality renewing focus on what she describes as Wolkoff's "salacious claims." Wolkoff's book, "Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady," details the fallout from Wolkoff's working and personal relationship with Melania Trump, including private conversations between the two. Trump did not name Wolkoff in the essay, but did not hold back, claiming she "hardly knew" her.
