Melania Trump’s Father Became A U.S. Citizen Despite Having A Past Criminal Record
For most people who want to become citizens of the United States, a criminal record is a disqualifier, but sources say it was not an issue for Viktor Knavs, the father of Melania Trump. Donald Trump has been harsh on immigrants, saying that this country should only take the best from other countries, and not allow criminals to become citizens.
The Daily Beast says that it was Melania Trump’s biographer who discovered that Viktor Knavs had a record with the Yugoslavian police back in Slovenia. Author Igor Omerza said that when he was reading through the database of the archives of the secret police archives, Knavs name popped up as someone with a criminal record. Despite this fact, Viktor and his wife, Melania’s mother, both became naturalized U.S. citizens this year.
