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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

“Essentially, they are moving to sanction my lawyers for doing nothing more than bringing the lawsuit against Melania Trump,\u201d Wolff explained. \u201cSo this is preposterous on its face.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“… 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“I wonder if it\u2019s 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\u2019t really stop and think about the cost-benefit analysis of motions that are contemplated and the burden you put a court to.”<\/p>\n

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.\u201d<\/p>\n

“On January 26th of this year, I got a text… from the president\u2019s personal lawyer, a man by the name of Boris Epshteyn, and the text said, \u2018Hey team, what\u2019s our timing on the Section 11 filing?\u2019\u201d Wolff detailed. “I was not part of the team. I am in Boris Epshteyn\u2019s address book because he\u2019s… a frequent off-the-record chatterer… and as can happen, he was thinking about me and writing a text about me, but it wasn\u2019t supposed to go to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
