Melania Trump Accused of Plagiarizing Obama-era Booklet for 'Be Best' Initiative
Summary from the AllSides News Team
A booklet released as a part of First Lady Melania Trump's 'Be Best' campaign copies directly from an Obama-era brochure published by the FTC in 2014. While the 'Be Best' website initially said Trump wrote the pamphlet, it now attributes authorship to the FTC and says that the First Lady is promoting it.
