Melania Trump's dark past is surfacing and a federal judge is warning Melania Trump, quit while you're ahead. Not just any federal judge, a Trump appointed judge, Judge Viscasil, a federal judge in the Southern District of New York who was presiding over a lawsuit filed by Michael Wolff, Donald Trump's former biographer, against Melania Trump after Melania Trump threatened to file a defamation lawsuit against Michael Wolff for billions of dollars if he didn't retract statements about her, which she says were false and defamatory regarding purported connections to Epstein. He sued her and said, you're chilling my First Amendment free speech rights. He filed a lawsuit in state court. She removed the case to federal court, claiming something called diversity jurisdiction and said it shouldn't be held in a state court.
The case got miraculous. and sent to a Trump-appointed judge. And ultimately, this Trump-appointed judge, Viscosell, made a ruling. I don't have jurisdiction throughout Michael Wolff's case. And she basically said, this federal judge, to Michael Wolff, you have to wait until Melania sues you first, which, by the way, I don't think that's what the law is under New York's anti-SLAPP statute. And so the federal judge said, hey, Melania, are you going to sue him for defamation? Because if you do, then take it outside of this courtroom. But otherwise, I don't have jurisdiction right now. You can't sue Melania before she sues you. And I believe Melania doesn't want to sue Michael Wolff because she doesn't want to go through discovery and have her depositions taken.
But one of the things that Melania just said to this federal judge, Judge Viscosells, maybe I'm not going to sue Michael Wolff for defamation, but I want sanctions because you just dismissed this case for having no jurisdiction and you threw it out of court. And this Trump appointed judge is like, Melania, what the hell are you doing, basically? Like, you realize I did you a little solid there. You know, I held this up from February until like last month. I sat on it. I defused this case. Do you see what I did for you, Melania? You know, if you seek sanctions against Michael Wolff, you have to show clear evidence that what he did was file a lawsuit against you on a frivolous basis, and you may not have the evidence for that, Melania.
So take my hint and just walk away, Melania. I dismiss this without jurisdiction. And so you have literally, I mean, I'll tell you what the judge wrote.
