Trump biographer exposes why Melania's 'preposterous' legal move is doomed to fail

First Lady Melania Trump is pursuing new sanctions in her battle against Michael Wolff, but as the prominent former biographer of her husband explained this week, her "preposterous" legal strategy is doomed to fail.Wolff is a veteran reporter and author, best known for several books documenting President Donald Trump's first term in the White House. In the last year, he has also been embroiled in a legal battle with the first lady after she initially threatened to sue him over comments about her and her family's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. He responded with an anti-SLAPP lawsuit, accusing Melania Trump of attempting to silence him, in breach of freedom of the press.In May, New York District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, a Trump appointee, tossed out Wolff's suit, saying that he must wait for an actual defamation suit from the first lady, while also noting that there appeared to be legitimate issues brought up between the two parties. In the past week, Melania Trump has moved to try and have Wolff's lawyers sanctioned, over what she described as "factual misrepresentations, frivolous legal arguments and bad-faith conduct."In the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast, Wolff touched on these new developments in the situation, calling the first lady's strategy "preposterous.""Essentially, they are moving to sanction my lawyers for doing nothing more than bringing the lawsuit against Melania Trump,” Wolff explained. “So this is preposterous on its face."Speaking further on the matter, he said that the first lady's move fits the strategy established by her notoriously litigious husband, which means that it is almost certain to fail."... It is just another... kind of thing that comes with all of Trump-style... litigation, which is you do everything, no matter how... sordid and not respectable... and bound to be thrown out of court, you do this stuff to cost your opponents more money and to cause delay," Wolff explained.Indeed, Judge Vyskocil seemed to urge the first lady against continuing to pursue legal action against Wolff and his team during a hearing earlier this week."I wonder if it’s in the interest of the parties to continue litigating in this court," she said. "I think sometimes people get so caught up in the fervor of the moment that they don’t really stop and think about the cost-benefit analysis of motions that are contemplated and the burden you put a court to."Wolff further claimed to have known that this sort of sanction request was coming after he accidentally received a text from one of the first lady's lawyers, which also exposed how the case "was being coordinated at the highest levels of Trump law.”"On January 26th of this year, I got a text... from the president’s personal lawyer, a man by the name of Boris Epshteyn, and the text said, ‘Hey team, what’s our timing on the Section 11 filing?’” Wolff detailed. "I was not part of the team. I am in Boris Epshteyn’s address book because he’s... a frequent off-the-record chatterer... and as can happen, he was thinking about me and writing a text about me, but it wasn’t supposed to go to me.”

George Washington was no deist: Exposing the modern myth about America’s founding

Bestselling author and cultural commentator Eric Metaxas set out with the intention to tell the true story of the American Revolution.“I said, ‘I just want to write a very compelling, very readable, fun, gallop-through-our-history [book],’” he tells Glenn Beck.But as Metaxas researched, he kept coming across details from our history that “astonished” him. One of those details had to do with none other than America’s first president. Many modern historians have labeled Washington a deist — that is, one who believes in a distant God who created the world but does not intervene in human affairs. These are generally the same people who argue that America was not founded as a Christian nation.Metaxas calls the claim that Washington was a deist "baloney."“Washington was no deist. What a joke. What a lie,” he exclaims.“These were men of profound Christian faith who set about doing something that had never been done since the Israelites were in the Sinai wilderness, where they left Pharaoh and left Egypt and looked directly to God without an earthly king. ... This is what the founders were trying to do,” he explains.All of the founders, he argues, understood that the goal was to “bring the Bible into government.”“I was so overwhelmed by the explicitly Christian nature of what was going on. ... Everywhere you look, this narrative comes out. It is inescapable,” Metaxas tells Glenn, noting that his book is not “a Christian book” but “a book of American history.”For years, Glenn has been trying to debunk the same misleading narrative.“In this one letter [George Washington wrote], I think it’s 24 different scriptures are quoted without him quoting it. It’s just part of his language,” he says.Glenn notes that there are numerous accounts of the founders, including Washington, speaking about miracles.“A deist cannot believe in miracles,” he remarks.Agreeing, Metaxas says, “It is our duty to know this.”But he could never find a book that told the full truth about America’s birth.This gap is what inspired him to write “Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World,” which just released last month.“This is our 250th,” he says. “This is our last exit before the toll. We the people need to understand how our government works, ... that all of our founders understood our liberties come from God.”To hear more about Metaxas’ new book, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
