Meredith McIver is a staff writer for The Trump Organization, author, former ballerina,[1] and registered Democrat. [2] She is credited with ghostwriting multiple books by Donald Trump. [3][4][5]
McIver is from San Jose, California and earned an English degree at the University of Utah in 1976.[6][7]
Speech plagiarism controversy
In July 2016, McIver contributed to a speech for Melania Trump, which Trump recited at the 2016 Republican National Convention on July 19, 2016.[8] The speech was later found to have plagiarized passages from a Michelle Obama speech.[9][10]
McIver later issued a statement explaining that Melania Trump told her some passage from Michelle Obama's speech as an 'example', but due to misunderstanding she thought that that passage is of Melania Trump's own thinking and included that passage in the speech. To be more precise, McIver places some of the blame on Ms. Trump: "In a statement issued by the campaign, Meredith McIver took the blame but made it clear that Mrs. Trump knew the passages were from the first lady's speech."[11] The Trump family declined McIver's offer to resign over the incident.[12][13]
