Melania Trump is at the centre of a lawsuit filed by biographer Michael Wolff, who said in October 2025 that legal action followed the first lady allegedly threatening retaliation over his claims linking her to Jeffrey Epstein, according to an OK! report that also places part of the dispute in New York, where attempts were reportedly made to serve her with papers. The central claim is Wolff's account rather than an established court finding, and several of the most sensitive allegations in the dispute remain contested.
The OK! report states that Wolff brought the case under anti-SLAPP law, designed to protect First Amendment rights, after Melania allegedly pushed back against his comments about an alleged connection to Epstein, a claim she 'vehemently denies.' That denial is significant because it leaves the argument, as with many of Wolff's Trump-era interventions, somewhere between aggressive allegation, legal brinkmanship and the reality that accusation is not proof.
