Details about the project have been kept under wraps with Trump only describing it as a "day-to-day life, what I'm doing, what kind of responsibilities I have," she told
She teased that the documentary will disclose details about the "transition team to moving to the White House, packing, the First Lady's office, and establishing her team."
Now, an insider working for the production team of the documentary told The U.S. Sun that Trump views the project as the best way to express herself to supporters.
The insider added that the First Lady wants it to convey she's a woman that "has ideas and wants to work on her own projects."
"Melania wants people to know who she really is," the source told The U.S. Sun.
"She's a private person, but she is very happy to be back on the spotlight in that project, and she thinks that doing a documentary is the best way to talk about herself and her life in a deep way - in a deeper way than just public appearances or interviews.
"She knows what she wants, and she is a boss, that is for sure," the insider added, saying Trump has been very engaged and constructive with the production crew to make the best documentary possible.

"She shows us a lot of details of the White House life, about what she loves about her function and life, but also the role model she is for other women and her family," the insider said.
"We are getting inside things about her life, how she sees herself in this powerful environment, but also how she is as a mother, and the love she has for Barron, the support she shows to him 24/7, being also a role model for him.
"There are also some moments with her husband, and Donald is not taking too much spotlights because he knows that this project is important for her.
"But he gives a couple of details about the White House, and their way of life outside of there, in Mar-a-Lago, but also in New York for example, where she spends a lot of time.

Cynthia Erivo crowned best actress at BET Awards
Hosted by Kevin Hart, Monday's BET Awards celebrated the work of black people in music, entertainment, film, sports and philanthropy. The London-born star, who rose to worldwide prominence last year for her role in Wicked, was also nominated for the BET Her Award — which recognises empowering songs that focus on women — for her rendition of Defying Gravity. Grammy Award-winning rapper Doechii used her acceptance speech to sharply criticise US President Donald Trump's handling of protests in Los Angeles. We need your consent to load this Social Media content. We use a number of different Social Media outlets to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity. Collecting the award for best female hip-hop artist, she accused the president of 'creating fear and chaos' in his response to demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, which sparked days of protest across the city. 'I do want to address what's happening right now, outside the building,' she said. 'These are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities. In the name of law and order, Trump is using military forces to stop a protest, and I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be, when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.' Mr Trump announced plans to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to California to quell the protests, which began on Friday. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the move was 'essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States'. The decision drew sharp criticism from Democratic politicians, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called the move 'purposefully inflammatory'. London-based girl-group FLO missed out after picking up nominations for best group and the Bet Her award for their track In My Bag, featuring GloRilla. Fellow UK artists Bashy and Ezra Collective earned nominations for best international artist, while multi-genre artist Odeal and R&B singer kwn were shortlisted for best new international act. Kendrick Lamar, who led the pack with 10 nominations, took home awards for album of the year and best male hip-hop artist. He also won video of the year and video director of the year for his hit Not Like Us, as well as best collaboration for Luther, his track with SZA SZA won best female R&B/pop artist, while Chris Brown took home best male R&B/pop artist. The evening featured a star-studded cast, including actor Jamie Foxx, with performances by Ashanti, Mariah Carey and GloRilla. Foxx, Carey, gospel star Kirk Franklin and Snoop Dogg were honoured with the ultimate icon award for their contributions to community, entertainment, and advocacy. Miles Canton, Luke James and Lucky Daye delivered an R&B tribute to Quincy Jones, who died in November.

US and Iran nuclear talks to resume on Thursday, says Donald Trump
Atomic agency boss speaks about Tehran's claimed 'seizure' of Israeli nuclear secrets ©Associated Press Today at 21:30 US president Donald Trump last night said the US and Iran would continue talks on Thursday for a nuclear deal, adding that Tehran was a tough negotiator and the main impediment to an agreement was over enrichment. 'We're doing a lot of work on Iran right now,' Mr Trump told reporters at an economic event at the White House.

Iran prepares nuclear counter-proposal amid tensions
President Donald Trump said that new US-Iran talks this week could make clear if a nuclear deal is possible to avoid military action, as Iran readies a counter-proposal on a potential agreement. Mr Trump spoke by telephone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose office said the US leader informed that he had made a "reasonable offer" to Iran. Mr Netanyahu has threatened to strike the nuclear sites of Iran, whose cleric-run government he sees as Israel's existential enemy, but Mr Trump has said he has held him back. "We're trying to make a deal so that there's no destruction and death," Mr Trump told reporters after what he described as a positive call with Mr Netanyahu. "But it might not work out that way. We'll soon find out," he added. Mr Trump said the latest meeting with Iran was expected on Thursday, although a source familiar with preparations said it would more likely be on Friday or Saturday. In a key sticking point, Iran has insisted on the right to enrich uranium at low levels for civilian use - as allowed under a 2015 deal negotiated by former US president Barack Obama which Mr Trump tore up in his first White House term. "They seek enrichment. They can't have enrichment," Mr Trump said. "So far, they're not there. I hate to say that because the alternative is a very, very dire one," he added. "But they're not there. They have given us their thoughts on the deal and I said, it's just not acceptable," President Trump said. 'Reasonable, logical and balanced' Iran and the United States last held talks on 31 May, after which Iran said it had received "elements" of a US proposal. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later said the text contained "ambiguities." Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei criticised the US proposal as "lacking elements" reflective of the previous rounds of negotiations mediated by Oman, without providing further details. "We will soon submit our own proposed plan to the other side through Oman once it is finalised," Mr Baqaei told a press briefing. "It is a proposal that is reasonable, logical and balanced, and we strongly recommend that the American side value this opportunity," he added. Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told state news agency IRNA that Iran's response "is a framework for agreement." "If we reach an understanding on this framework in principle, further extensive negotiations will begin on its details," he added. Iran's parliament speaker has said the US proposal failed to include the lifting of sanctions - a key demand for Iran, which has been reeling under their weight for years. Israel has hit Iran directly, impeding its air defences, since the 7 October 2023 deadly attacks by Hamas which also triggered its Gaza offensive. Iran's top security body, however, warned that it had intelligence on Israeli nuclear facilities and could carry out counterattacks should Israel strike. IAEA tension Iran currently enriches uranium to 60%, far above the 3.67% limit set in the 2015 deal and close though still short of the 90% needed for a nuclear warhead. Western countries, including the United States, have long accused Iran of seeking to acquire atomic weapons, while Iran insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes. The United Nations nuclear watchdog began a Board of Governors meeting in Vienna that will last until Friday to discuss Iran's nuclear activities among other topics. "I call upon Iran urgently to cooperate fully and effectively with the International Atomic Energy Agency," said IAEA chief Rafael Grossi in his opening speech. "Unless and until Iran assists the agency in resolving the outstanding safeguards issues, the agency will not be in a position to provide assurance that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful," he added. Iran has warned European powers of counter-measures to reduce cooperation with the IAEA if European powers back a draft resolution that accuses Iran of non-compliance.
