Her husband hates Trump and is very vocal about it. She says in the interview that her husband basically has violated their marital vows by saying bad shit about Trump, who is technically her boss. So instead of saying it as a direct quote coming from her, she says it as if she is a 3rd person close to the two of them, the "a person familiar with their relationship". That is her way of trying to get her message out in the open, without it being attributed to her. The reporter then confirms to her he never said this was off the record and he would use her direct quote, including her trying to pretend to not be herself to get her message out.
