First lady Melania Trump files motion for sanctions against Michael Wolff over tossed lawsuit
- First Lady Melania Trump filed a motion seeking sanctions against journalist Michael Wolff after his lawsuit against her was dismissed as legally frivolous and abusive by a federal judge.
- Wolff had sued Melania Trump to prevent her from suing him for $1 billion over alleged defamatory statements linking her to Jeffrey Epstein, but the lawsuit was dismissed in May by Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil.
- Melania Trump's legal team argued that Wolff ignored a pre-action notice demanding retraction of defamatory claims and used the lawsuit for harassment, fundraising, and political spectacle.
- The motion requests Wolff and his counsel pay Melania Trump's attorneys' fees and costs, citing misuse of federal proceedings and bad-faith forum-shopping as grounds for sanctions.
