First Lady Melania Trump celebrated the first conviction under the “Take It Down Act,” a law she strongly advocated for in 2025.

“I am proud to have worked with Congress to provide U.S. Attorney Dominick S. Gerace II with a strong legal mechanism to protect innocent victims from cybercrimes of this nature,” the first lady wrote in an X post on Tuesday.
