Melania Trump is continuing to keep a low profile as First Lady of the United States. However, now, she might be in for some legal trouble. Author Michael Wolff, who has written several books on Trump, is now suing Melania, calling what she did ‘harassment, intimidation and punishing.’

Author Michael Wolff has written several books on Trump. The reactions from the president and his family to the content have never been positive. It’s not only Donald Trump that the books have focused on, but Melania has also been written about several times. Soon, they might be facing each other in court.

As per AP, Michael Wolff has sued Melania Trump after he claims she threatened to sue him for $1 billion in damages if he didn’t withdraw and retract the Jeffrey Epstein-related statements he recently made about the first lady.

The statements were made by Wolff to The Daily Beast earlier this year, with a story whose headline read, “Melania Trump ‘Very Involved’ in Epstein Scandal: Author.” Wolff also appeared on a podcast talking about Melania’s links to Epstein.

The Daily Beast later retracted the original article, adding an editor’s note which read, “Upon reflection, we have determined that the article did not meet our standards and has therefore been removed from our platforms.”

On October 15, Melania’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, wrote that she was “left with no alternative” but to sue for $1 billion as the statements had caused her “overwhelming reputational and financial harm.”

Meanwhile, Wolff’s lawsuit against Melania claims the article was taken out of context, and he maintains he has not defamed Trump.
