Her closely watched public apperance came a day

WASHINGTON Emotion: travel — Melania Trump spoke about courage on Friday — what it is and why the world needs it.Her closely watched public appearance came a day after a former Playboy model told the world details of a 10-month affair the model says she had with a married Donald Trump a decade before he was elected president.

Hello,

Q1: Why is "a" needed in the sentence above I highlighted in red? A married Donald Trump refers to the incumbent American President Trump, correct? Who would care if he is a nobody named Donald Trump.

Q2: Can I recap the words as below:

A former Playboy model told the world that she had a 10-month affair with married Donald Trump before he was elected President.

The wording sounds winding to me, and I have read back and forth to understand it. Does the journalist try to avoid "libel", so s/he is very careful with the wording- the model says?

Q3: Do the words in red mean "Her public appearance drew much attention in the day after ...?

Can I say:

The closely watched news of trial came a day/ two days,/ a hour,etc? Does this make sense?

Thank you!
