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.”

Trump receives stark warning from analyst: 'You've lost the New York Post'

President Donald Trump received a stark warning from a political analyst Saturday morning. Commentator Molly Jong-Fast took to X on Independence Day to share a less-than flattering editorial on the Trump family from a publication that typically sings their praises. "When you've lost the New York Post," Jong-Fast tweeted. The editorial in question chastises the president, with the Post's characteristic tabloid style, over reports that Trump's son Don Jr. and Eric are involved in a billion-dollar mining deal in Kazakhstan financed by the U.S. government."Hunter Biden-style sleaze is just as slimy when the Trump boys do it," wrote the Post editorial board. "It was bad when the Bidens did it, and it’s just as bad when the Trumps do it."Jong-Fast also shared a response from the thriller writer Brad Thor, who found himself on Independence Day in agreement with the New York Post."This should not be a partisan issue," Thor wrote. "If Americans were right to be angry about Hunter Biden trading on his father’s name, then Americans should be just as concerned when the Trump family is tied to deals involving foreign governments, federal support, and political access. Public service should never become a family revenue stream. One standard."Thor wasn't alone. "Never thought I see them say this but I agree!" wrote X user Emre Yurrtas. "The fact there are separate standards for each party on everything should bother everyone!"Jong-Fast was not the only one to urge Trump to change his ways. The Post editorial also had words of warning for the president. "Democrats in Congress are pressing for an investigation into Trump sweetheart deals," the Post said. "If they take the House in the midterms, these hearings are surely coming."
