President-elect Donald Trump offered some clarification Sunday after reports circulated that his wife, Melania, and 10-year-old son, Barron, would not immediately be moving to the White House after Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration.
BEDMINSTER, N.J. — According to CNN, Trump told reporters outside his Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey that he planned to live in the White House. Melania and Barron will join him "very soon – right after (Barron) finishes school," Trump said.
Earlier Sunday, the New York Post, citing unnamed sources, reported that Melania and Barron will remain at Trump Tower in New York so Barron can continue attending his private school. Security around the tower will get a boost from the Secret Service and New York Police Department.
The future first lady plans to travel to the White House "as needed" until she and her son move in, the Post reported.
Trump spokesman Jason Miller said Trump and his wife "are concerned about pulling their 10-year-old son out of school in the middle of the year" and urged that "the same privacy and security considerations given to previous first families with regard to minor children be extended to the Trumps, as well."
One other first lady did not live in the White House during her husband's term – Anna Harrison, wife of William Henry Harrison.
