President Donald Trump's surprise call to C-SPAN on Monday, 9 November 2026, triggered speculation about his marriage to Melania Trump after a woman's laughter was heard during the live broadcast. The unidentified voice prompted cheating rumours online, although there is no evidence linking the incident to infidelity.
The laughter was heard during the opening moments of Trump's appearance on Washington Journal Primetime, hosted by Mimi Geerges. The president had called into the programme to discuss political developments, but the unexplained sound quickly drew attention away from his remarks.
