 has invited two young women who exemplify causes she has championed to be her special guests at her husband’s address Tuesday before a joint session of Congress.

Trump will be joined by Elliston Berry of Aledo, Texas, a victim of an AI-generated, sexually explicit “deepfake” image, and Haley Ferguson of Spring Hill, Tennessee, a former foster child who is the recipient of a scholarship instituted during Trump’s first tenure as first lady.

Berry was at Melania Trump's side on Capitol Hill on Monday as the first lady used her first public comments since her husband’s inauguration to speak out about the publication of non-consensual, sexually explicit images.

"Fear, shock and disgust were just some of the many emotions I felt," Berry said. "I felt responsible and began to blame myself and was ashamed to tell my parents, despite doing nothing wrong."

When she reported the matter to her school, the authorities said it was out of their control. It was only after the office of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, heard her story and personally reached out to Snapchat that the photo was removed, she said.

Berry and the first lady spoke out in support of the Take it Down Act, which was unanimously passed by the Senate in February.

The bill, introduced in August by Cruz and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., criminalizes the publication of “non-consensual, sexually exploitative images, including AI-generated deepfakes.” The legislation requires technology platforms to remove reported content within 48 hours of receiving a valid request.

Trump called Berry “brave.”
