Melania Wins First Round Of Lawsuit Against A Fake News Blogger
First Lady Melania Trump won the first round of a $150 million libel suit she filed against a blogger who claimed in a report that he published that Melania Trump was a “high-end escort.”
Arguments from the blogger’s attorneys that the case should be dismissed because they failed to meet the standard of “actual malice” standard for high profile public figures were dismissed by Judge Sharon Burrell of the Montgomery County Circuit Court.
From Politico:
“The court finds the plaintiff has stated a claim for defamation,” Burrell ruled after hearing arguments on the issue in a Rockville courtroom. “The court believes most people, when they hear the words ‘high-end escort’ that describes a prostitute. There could be no more defamatory statement than to call a woman a prostitute.”
The judge also accused Tarpley’s lawyers of playing “word games” by arguing that there was no libelous effect of his claims that Melania Trump suffered a mental breakdown that forced her off the campaign trail.
