Melania Has Moved Ahead with the $150 Million Suit
The American first lady Melania Trump has recently filed a lawsuit against the very popular news site Daily Mail for publishing a salacious and highly offensive statement about Melania in August 2016. Daily Mail reported that she worked as a high-end escort in the 1990s.
Trump sued the Mail Media Inc. along with blogger Webster Tarpley for reporting the rumors. She filed the suit in Maryland after both Tarpley and the Daily Mail issued retractions.
Melania was looking forward to around $150 million in compensatory and punitive damages from the news organization. However, the US County judge dismissed the lawsuit later in February 2017. The judge in Maryland rejected the attempt as the court lacked jurisdiction to hear a case involving a foreign company.
After the Maryland court dismissed the lawsuit, Melania has re-filed a libel lawsuit against the mail and this time in New York. Where during the filing, the first lady's attorneys argue the report damaged her ability to profit off her high profile.
