Melania Trump vowed on Friday to keep fighting what she calls 'malicious and defamatory falsehoods' about her, after a federal judge in New York dismissed journalist Michael Wolff's lawsuit over his claims linking the first lady to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and renewed her attack on what she has branded 'mean-spirited' critics.
The clash between Melania and Wolff began last year, when her lawyer, Alejandro Brito, sent a legal warning over comments the author made about her alleged ties to Epstein. Wolff, long a fierce critic of Donald Trump, said he was facing the threat of a $1 billion defamation claim if he did not retract those remarks, and chose instead to sue first in a bid to have a court shield him.
