Michael Wolff's lawsuit against Melania Trump has been dismissed by U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, who was appointed by Donald Trump. Wolff, a biographer and co-host of a podcast, filed the lawsuit after Melania Trump threatened to sue him for $1 billion over comments he made regarding her and Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff's lawsuit was based on anti-SLAPP laws intended to protect freedom of speech, following a legal threat from Melania's attorneys. The judge ruled that Wolff was attempting to litigate a dispute before a formal lawsuit had been filed, stating that the federal courts do not operate in that manner. The ruling did not address Melania Trump's residency claims. Wolff had raised $800,000 from supporters to fund his legal battle, arguing that the Trump family uses legal threats to intimidate critics. Melania Trump's spokesperson stated that she is committed to combating falsehoods that harm her reputation.
