Melania Trump, who hasn't been seen in public in more than 3 weeks, is skipping a trip to Camp David

First lady Melania Trump won't be joining President Donald Trump at Camp David this weekend.
The weekend marks 22 straight days without a public appearance by the first lady.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says Melania Trump won't join her husband when he heads to the Camp David presidential retreat for the weekend.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to head to the Maryland retreat Friday afternoon, but his wife won't be seen boarding the presidential helicopter with him.

Her absence will mark 22 straight days without a public appearance by the first lady following a recent hospitalization.

The first lady was last seen May 10, when she and the president welcomed home three Americans who had been released from detention in North Korea.

The White House announced four days later that Mrs. Trump had been hospitalized to treat a kidney condition. She stayed five days before returning to the White House.

After weeks without public appearances or statements, the first lady tweeted this week to respond to questions about her whereabouts and suggesting the "media is working overtime".

I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing. Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!
