Judge dismisses lawsuit brought by author Michael Wolff against Melania Trump
Wolff’s suit aimed to head off billion-dollar legal action brought by first lady over statements linking her to Epstein
Melania Trump has won the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by author Michael Wolff designed to head off a billion-dollar defamation action brought by the first lady over statements he made in the media.
The US district judge Mary Kay Vyskocil said that Wolff’s claim against Trump under anti-Slapp statutes, which are designed to allow defendants to quickly dismiss meritless, intimidating lawsuits, was “preemptive” and presented in a “somewhat contorted posture”.
In a 45-page ruling, Vyskocil said the “plaintiff asks for a declaration that, if the first lady sues him, he deserves to win. That is not how the federal courts work.”

Author Michael Wolff is not going down without a fight in his legal feud with Melania Trump.
The longtime Donald Trump biographer is unfazed by a federal judgeâs decision to toss his so-called anti-SLAPP suit against the first lady, vowing in a Saturday taping of Inside Trumpâs Head podcast to continue challenging Melania in the courts.
âWe knew from the beginning when we drew a Trump judge in federal court, in the Southern District in New York, that that was problematic,â Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles. âI think our attitude was, âOK, you know, thatâs the hand we drew.ââ

Judge throws out author Michael Wolff’s lawsuit against Melania Trump
BREAKING: At least 2 people shot near the White House, officials say
A judge threw out author Michael Wolff’s lawsuit against first lady Melania Trump on Friday, ruling that his “contorted” attempt to prevent her from suing him for $1 billion over his statements about her and Jeffrey Epstein “is not how the federal courts work.”
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil in federal court in Manhattan chided Wolff for an “inappropriate level of tactical gamesmanship” and said she “will not be conscripted to oversee an abusively presented spat.”
Vyskocil, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, agreed that Wolff and the first lady “have a real dispute,” but said “they must litigate it according to the same procedures as everyone else.”
