A federal judge dismissed journalist Michael Wolff's lawsuit against Melania Trump, clearing the way for her potential $1 billion defamation claim.
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by journalist Michael Wolff against First Lady Melania Trump, calling it a “contorted” attempt and “not how federal courts work.”Wolff filed suit against Trump seeking to block her from suing him
for $1 billion for alleged defamatory claims he made regarding her association with Jeffrey Epstein. “It’s an inappropriate level of tactical gamesmanship,” said Manhattan Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, an appointee of President Donald Trump. Vyskocil said she would not be “drafted to oversee an abusively presented spat,” yet she recognized that both sides have a “real dispute.”
