Judge Throws Out Michael Wolff’s Preemptive Lawsuit Against Melania Trump (5/25/26)

A federal judge dismissed Michael Wolff’s lawsuit against Melania Trump, rejecting his attempt to preemptively block or neutralize a potential $1 billion defamation suit from the first lady over comments tying her to Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled that Wolff’s approach was procedurally improper, calling it a “contorted” effort and saying federal courts do not exist to referee a pre-lawsuit battle in that manner. Wolff had argued that Melania Trump’s legal threats were meant to intimidate critics and chill speech, while her lawyer said his statements caused reputational and financial harm and demanded retractions.

The underlying dispute centers on Wolff’s comments about Melania Trump, Donald Trump, and Epstein’s social orbit, including remarks that were later used in a Daily Beast story the outlet retracted after legal pressure. Wolff maintains that his statements were either taken out of context, protected opinion, or did not accuse Melania Trump of criminal involvement in Epstein’s crimes. Melania Trump has forcefully denied any association with Epstein and framed the claims as defamatory lies. The judge did not decide whether Wolff defamed her; instead, she dismissed his preemptive lawsuit and left any future defamation fight to proceed through the ordinary legal process.
