joining me now is cnn white house correspondent kate bennett. she s also the author of the book free melania. happy new year. thank you so much for joining me. happy new year, thanks for having me. critics are saying this is nothing but a crash grab, not to mention highly unusual for a former first lady. as someone who has covered melania sensibilextensively, is surprising this was her first move? i literally wrote the book on melania trump and everything she does is still surprising. i think she is unpredictable. you know, i didn t see an nft coming, i have to say, but i knew she probably wasn t going to do the traditional writing her memoirs or setting up a foundation and using that platform the o way other first ladies have. so test surprising that it s this cryptocurrency she s doing something that s going to profit
