The First Lady, Melania Trump, has succeeded in resolving the libel suit she filed against a Maryland blogger who agreed to apologize to the Trump family as well as grant her a generous sum of money, as reported by her attorneys In a statement released Tuesday morning. "I published an article last August 2, 2016 about Melania Trump, which was full of false and defamatory statements about it," said blogger Webster Tarpley.
Tarpley, 71, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. One of his lawyers, Danielle D. Giroux, confirmed that the agreement had been reached. The blogger's article, published in August, had rumors that Melania Trump had worked in the past as an escort in the 1990s.
Trump's attorneys, Harder, Mirell & Abrams, settled in Beverly Hills, declined to comment on the amount agreed with Tarpley. "I had no legitimate basis for making those false statements and I completely retract them. I am aware that this false information was very harmful to Mrs Trump and her family; So in the most sincere way, I apologize to Mrs. Trump, her son, her husband and parents for making such false statements, "the defendant said in a statement released by his lawyers.
The 46-year-old former model has also sued the Daily Mail website, which published an article similar to Tarpley's article last August. Melania Trump had earlier filed a $ 150 million lawsuit against Mail Media Inc. in Maryland, but a judge ruled earlier this month that she should not have filed for bankruptcy and dismissed it. This time, Trump made a new lawsuit, but now in New York state, city in which the media has offices.
"(Melania Trump) She had a unique opportunity, as an extremely famous and well-known person, as well as being a former model, brand image and successful businesswoman, launching a trademark with several products, each of which could have provided her with relationships Commercial multimillionaires during the years in which she is going to be one of the most photographed women in the world, "said the document presented to the court in New York.
