The Trump staffer who took the fall for lifting several passages of Melania Trump’s speech from an earlier address by Michelle Obama is a registered Democrat in New York, public records show.

Meredith McIver, a longtime writer for the Trump organization, admitted that she had helped Melania compose the speech the candidate’s wife delivered at the GOP convention Monday night.

Melania, she said, had read her several passages of Obama’s 2008 speech to the Democratic convention over the phone and she mistakenly inserted them into the speech, she admitted in a statement.

Team Trump at first adamantly denied that there was any plagiarism — but fessed up Wednesday when McIver admitted the mistake.

She offered her resignation but Donald Trump refused to accept it.
