This may be what the Melania Presser was about today...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/author-michael-wolff-files-suit-melania-trump-jeffrey-epstein-threat-rcna239257

'Author Michael Wolff has sued first lady Melania Trump, charging that she threatened a $1 billion legal action against him to stop him from reporting and writing about her alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

"Mrs. Trump's claims are made for the sole purpose of harassing, intimidating, punishing or otherwise maliciously inhibiting Mr. Wolff's free exercise of speech," said the suit, which was filed Tuesday in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan"....

Trump has been aggressive in pushing back against what her lawyers describe as false reports linking to her Epstein, and her office said in a statement Wednesday that she "is proud to continue standing up to those who spread malicious and defamatory falsehoods as they desperately try to get undeserved attention and money from their unlawful conduct."

Yet she never speaks up against the lies and the nasty smears about other people, spread by her husband. Obama wasn't born in Hawaii. Ted Cruz's dad has something to do JFK's assassination. Yes, this is all about playing the victim in the face of the truth about their relationship with Epstein. She is a despicable human being.

Why don't you stand up for the victims of Eps and TSF's rapes.

They can’t remember which lie goes to which issue and which one they used last.

13. The lawyers for Melania (and Chump) will never allow discovery

When Melania gives her deposition she will need to swear under oath to tell the truth. Chump's lawyers could never allow that, for obvious reasons. They KNOW how guilty he is, and she can spill the beans.

She really needs to stop Wolf from publishing. Barron is kinda tall to disappear into witness protection hiding from peer comments about his momma bear.

Lots of luck with that Ms Einstein Visa!

17. Her making a statement on camera

reminds me of when she went on camera to support her campaigning husband that his “grab ‘em by the pussy” audio on the bus was just “locker room talk”

T-rump is pushing her once again to get out in front of the slime that is T-rump and the Epstein Class.
