Melania Trump declares her health and marriage are in good shape after not appearing in public for 20 days

After three weeks out of the public eye, Melania Trump has put to rest speculation about her health and marriage.

The first lady, who is recovering from medical treatment for a kidney condition, took to Twitter to say she was “feeling great” and is at the White House.

Ms Trump is yet to make a public appearance, leaving some sceptics still wondering about her condition.
The first lady's tweet landed while her husband was participating in a White House event that seemed tailor-made for a first lady, as famous athletes joined Donald Trump and his daughter and senior adviser, Ivanka Trump, on the South Lawn to promote youth sports and fitness.

"I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing," Ms Trump said on Twitter. "Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!"

Ms Trump has not appeared in public since 10 May, when she accompanied the president to a military base in Maryland to welcome home three Americans who had been released from detention in North Korea.

Four days later, the White House announced that the 48-year-old had successfully undergone an "embolisation" procedure to treat a benign kidney condition, and that there were no complications.

She spent five nights at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre in nearby Bethesda, Maryland.

Some doctors familiar with the procedure but not involved in her care said people treated with embolisation typically are sent home the same day or the next.
First ladies are under no obligation to make their medical histories public, and the White House has said nothing more about Ms Trump's condition.
