Melania Trump is suing the Daily Mail and Maryland-based blog Tarpley for $150 million, claiming defamation related to reports that she once worked for an escort service. Trump, represented by Hulk Hogan’s former lawyer Charles Harder, threatened last week to sue several news organizations over the reports. The first to publish the allegation was Slovenian outlet Suzy magazine, which the Daily Mail cited.

Harder’s statement reads: "These defendants made several statements about Mrs. Trump that are 100% false and tremendously damaging to her personal and professional reputation.”

Tarpley retracted its report last week after being threatened with the lawsuit. After Trump filed her lawsuit on Thursday, The Daily Mail retracted their original report stating, "The Daily Mail newspaper article stated that there was no support for the allegations ... The point of the article was that these allegations could impact the U.S. presidential election even if they are untrue."

"An exclusive USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the United States finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.

The sheer volume of lawsuits is unprecedented for a presidential nominee. No candidate of a major party has had anything approaching the number of Trump’s courtroom entanglements."

They need more funds for the campaign obviously. But on a serious note, this story, if indeed false, seems worthy of a libel suit. Now you may point to the suit as an example of how thin skinned Trump & Co are, but if some sites ran a story like this about Michelle Obama and she decided to sue, I'd say more power to her.

Threatening to sue is his favorite tactic.

Following through costs $.

The Daily Mail printed an apology today. Can't see a lawsuit getting very far as the DM can just claim that they were just reporting existing claims. Pretty disgusting journalism all the same. I am looking forward to a story about Kim Karchrashian not taking her clothes off, now that would be news!!

When thieves fall out! I hope she wins heavily. She has never offended me with her constant lying!

As they reversed immediately I hope she continues with it. Obviously malicious intent.
Wouldn't be believable with MO.

It would probably be better for the Trumps to let sleeping dogs lie, considering all the crappy news coming out about the modeling agency.
