Molan got to spend an hour with the Trumps…and she wants Donald next!
In a world-exclusive interview, Sky News Australia anchor Erin Molan has secured an interview with Eric and Lara Trump at their Florida's Trump National Golf Club Jupiter.
Molan said with no topic was off limits.
Erin Molan said: “To get exclusive, in-person access to Donald Trump’s son and daughter-in-law, who is also the co-chair of the Republican National Committee and arguably among his chief confidantes, was one of the most special days I’ve had in nearly 20 years in media.
“They both probably over-shared – just the way I like it – and some of the insights they give might challenge some pre-conceived ideas you have.”
During the wide-ranging interview, the former US President’s son and executive vice president of the Trump Organisation, Eric Trump and daughter-in-law and Republican National Committee co-chair, Lara Trump gave insights into how the entire Trump family was shaken by the assassination attempt.
They watched the dramatic events unfold live on television with their children. They also shared intimate details on what Donald Trump is like as a father and grandfather.

Trump National Golf Club Jupiter hosted Molan and her camera crew during the Florida visit. “We were at the country club for about four hours,” she told Mediaweek. “With them for about an hour. They were incredibly generous. Eric came out afterwards and took us on a tour and gave us a bottle of wine.”
The power couple are positive about the November vote. “They seem very confident - and not just because they are – but because they feel like the alternative is disastrous,” added Molan.

About her work with Sky News Australia, Molan said: “I love putting my weekly Sky News TV show together... it gives me immense joy. It means I can not only bring unique insight into the news stories which matter to Australians, but also focus on big guests and exclusive news-making interviews which I couldn't really do with a daily show, so what I'm doing now is perfect.
“I've never been more excited about my future professionally and personally.”
