Judge Tosses Wolff Suit, Clearing Path For $1B Melania Claim

He added that some of his statements were taken out of context and some were protected speech, including a statement he made that claimed the Trumps have a “sham marriage, trophy marriage,” that his lawsuit says was a “fair and justified” opinion

It also said in his lawsuit that Wolff never accused the first lady of being involved with criminal activity associated with Epstein.

The Daily Beast retracted an article last summer, titled “Melania Trump ‘Very Involved’ in Epstein Scandal: Author,” which was based on an interview with Wolff, after the outlet received a letter from Brito.
