Does the truth lie somewhere in-between is a question often posed when public figures sue for character defamation over articles written about them that purport to be true. Well, Melanie Trump is not taking the ?lies? told about her, lying down.
The wife of the Republican Presidential Nominee, Donald Trump, is suing the Daily Mail in Maryland for $150m in damages after it was reported that she was an ?escort? in the 1990?s before meeting Donald. An online blogger who goes by the name of Webster Tarpley, is also under fire from Mrs Trump for writing similar untruths about her.
Lawyers for Melanie Trump have said in a statement, ?These defendants made several statements about Mrs Trump that are 100% false and tremendously damaging to her personal and professional reputation [and] broadcast their lies to millions of people throughout the US and the world ? without any justification. Their many lies include, among others, that Mrs Trump supposedly was an ?escort? in the 1990s before she met her husband. Defendants? actions are so egregious, malicious and harmful to Mrs Trump that her damages are estimated at $150m.?
And the truth shall set you free Mrs Trump! And possibly make you even richer!
