EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A federal judge dismissed Michael Wolff's lawsuit against Melania Trump, clearing the path for her potential billion-dollar defamation claim.
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by journalist Michael Wolff against First Lady Melania Trump, calling it a “contorted” attempt and “not how federal courts work.”
“It’s an inappropriate level of tactical gamesmanship,” said Manhattan Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, an appointee of President Donald Trump.
Vyskocil said she would not be “drafted to oversee an abusively presented spat,” yet she recognized that both sides have a “real dispute. ”
