Michael Wolff has pledged to continue making First Lady Melania Trump’s life difficult in court after his initial suit against her was tossed out by a judge, per the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast.<\/p>\n

Wolff is a long-time author and journalist who has had extensive access to President Donald Trump in years past and wrote several books about the chaos behind the scenes of his first term in the White House. He had previously sued the first lady, claiming that her own threat to sue him for comments about her alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein violated his First Amendment right. Last week, however, a Trump-appointed federal judge tossed out his suit with a 45-page ruling that the Daily Beast called “scathing,” accusing him and the first lady of “an inappropriate level of tactical gamesmanship.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this case, a chronicler of the First Family sues the First Lady because she threatened to sue him for defamation. While Plaintiff and the First Lady have a real dispute, they must litigate it according to the same procedures as everyone else,\u201d U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil wrote. <\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cThere are many features of this case that make it complicated: the prominence of the personalities involved, the scandalizing content of the underlying statements, and, frankly, an inappropriate level of tactical gamesmanship. But the outcome is simple. The Court will not be conscripted to oversee an abusively presented spat and so declines to reach the merits here.\u201d<\/p>\n

During an episode of his podcast, “Inside Trump’s Head,” Wolff said that this development was not surprising to him and his legal team, and pledged to keep fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew from the beginning when we drew a Trump judge in federal court, in the Southern District in New York, that that was problematic,\u201d Wolff explained to co-hostJoanna Coles. \u201cI think our attitude was, \u2018OK, you know, that\u2019s the hand we drew.\u2019 We never had any illusions that this was going to proceed in a straight line, this case. But make no mistake, we are going forward with this.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added later: “The question is, what does that mean? And that will be the next chapter in this? Are we back in state court? Are we appealing in federal court? I mean, I assume we\u2019ll probably do both things. But I think, fundamentally, it\u2019s the question now of, can we get before a judge who is not a Trump judge?\u201d<\/p>\n
