Why is Melania Trump facing a lawsuit over alleged Epstein connections?
melania trump may be in big trouble in a case involving the epstein files and it's all because she brought it on herself she's screwing over herself she's screwing over donald you will recall that she has continued to threaten journalists and reporters who dare report that there may be connections between her and Jeffrey Epstein, she says, to even insinuate that there are connections. It's defamation. Oh, well, well, she's been threatening this journalist and that journalist. And it's like, Melania, there are lots of photos of you, Donald, Jeffrey, Ghislaine. There's at least a few of them that are out there. Let's just say that. So maybe you want to just come clean about it. So she threatened the wrong person.
As you know, Michael Wolff, who you've seen many times here be interviewed on the Midas Touch Network, he was Trump's former biographer. And he knows Melania. He knows Donald. And there's nothing, I think, more that Michael Wolff would like to do than learn more about them. And when she threatened to sue him, When she gave him a deadline because he wrote articles about her purported connections with Epstein, which she denies, Michael Wolff said, I'm not going to apologize to you by your deadline. I'm not going to be afraid that you're threatening to sue me for $1 billion. Author Michael Wolff sued her in New York State Court. under a theory of her committing anti-SLAPP violations. These are strategic lawsuits against public participation.
In other words, he's saying, I'm invoking my First Amendment right as a journalist to report on you, and you threatening to sue me is chilling my speech. And Wolf argues, I have a cause of action under New York law to sue you by you threatening to sue me to block my reporting. Let me go about my profession. So he filed a lawsuit for injunctive relief, and he is really interested in getting that discovery, finding out and asking her questions about what it is that she knows or doesn't know. We all know Melania's background is shrouded in question marks. She said she graduated from a university in Slovenia that she didn't really graduate from. It's a very murky past. How did she get here? She met Donald Trump at the Kit Kat Club in New York.
She was brought here by a modeling agency that also helped introduce European girls and women to wealthy businessmen. And there was a party, Pablo Parra. through this party and that Donald Trump was at, at the Kit Kat Club and that's how they met. There's just a lot of question marks and no one really knows what really happened there. So Michael Wolff's like, bet, I'm going to sue you. I want discovery, show up Melania. So as you know, from the prior videos I made, Wolff has tried to serve Melania with the lawsuit. And he said that she's been avoiding service, that the lawyer who threatened Wolff who said, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns or if you want to issue the apology to Melania.
Wolf called up that lawyer. His name is Brito is his last name and said, OK, I have the lawsuit. Can I serve you with it? Because you told me. that you're the main contact. And then Alessandro Brito, the lawyer for Melania, goes, nope, I'm not accepting service. And then Wolf said that Melania has been hiding from him. So Wolf says he goes to Trump Tower in New York, that he spoke with somebody in the lobby and asked if Melania lives here currently. And the person said, yes, but I'm not allowed to give this to her on your behalf. But according to Wolf, The bellman or the person who worked in the lobby confirmed that Melania lived there. So what Melania did, though, was she didn't accept service of the complaint.
Instead, she filed what's called a removal action in federal court where she tried to remove Michael Wolff's state court case because he filed in New York state court because he says, I'm a New Yorker. She's a New Yorker. We're fighting over New York issues. It should go in New York state case. Melania files in federal court, not a lawsuit against Wolf. She has not sued Wolf for defamation, which you should ask yourself.
