Overview
- In a newly filed complaint, Wolff alleges Melania Trump deliberately interfered with his publishing contract and defamed him over his forthcoming book, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump (Redux).
- The suit says Melania and her team falsely claimed he fabricated interviews, intimidated sources and manufactured lies, which Wolff claims scared off international distributors and cost him a multi‑million‑dollar deal.
- Wolff asserts he has evidence Melania directed a public relations firm to warn media outlets they could face legal action if they covered his book project.
- The filing includes an October 15 letter from Melania’s lawyers demanding an apology for statements about her connection to Jeffrey Epstein and threatening a $1 billion libel suit if he did not retract.
- Wolff seeks judicial declarations, legal fees and punitive damages under anti‑SLAPP principles, and at the time of reporting the complaint had not yet been reviewed by the county clerk; representatives for Melania Trump did not immediately comment.
