A US federal judge in New York has thrown out Michael Wolff's lawsuit against Melania Trump, but the author vowed this week that his legal battle with the First Lady is 'going forward,' keeping their high‑profile legal war very much alive.
The clash stems from Wolff's public comments allegedly linking Melania Trump to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his social circle. Her lawyers argued those remarks caused 'overwhelming reputational and financial harm' and threatened to sue. Wolff responded by going on the offensive, filing an action under New York's anti‑SLAPP statute, a law intended to protect journalists and commentators from lawsuits aimed at shutting down speech on matters of public interest.
