Melania is expected to move into the historical landmark a few months after the tours resume. Earlier this month, the mom-of-one confirmed that she will relocate to Washington, D.C. after her son Barron Trump finishes the academic year in Manhattan. "Mrs. Trump will be moving to D.C. and settling into the White House at the end of the school year, splitting her time between New York and D.C. in the meantime," the first lady’s senior advisor Stephanie Winston Wolkoff previously said. "Mrs. Trump is honored to serve this country and is taking the role and responsibilities of the First Lady very seriously."
