On Trump

[Dude#1279435]

It will be interesting to see if others will follow the lead of Wolff and sue Trump under state anti-SLAPP laws.

>>>Wolff . . . has indicated his upcoming book delves into [Melania's] role concerning all things Epstein. This, Wolff claims, prompted Mrs. Trump’s attorney to send him a threat letter demanding he retract statements made about the First Lady in articles and podcasts on The Daily Beast or face a lawsuit demanding $1 billion in damages.

Instead of capitulation, Wolff fired back by filing an anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) defamation suit against Mrs. Trump in New York State Supreme Court on October 21, 2025. In addition to disputing the claims made in the threat letter, Wolff’s legal salvo forces the Trump camp to decide if they are willing to face the subpoenas and discovery required to move forward. Either way, it’s a publicity bonanza for Wolff and his future release.<<<

From the findlaw article:

>>>Wolff’s pending book, with a working title of “The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump (Redux),” reportedly touches on both her past as part of Epstein’s social circle and her current role in managing the White House’s refusal to deliver the promised release of the Epstein files.<<<

Perhaps Melania appears prominantly in the Epstein files and this is what has been driving Trump's big stall to release the files. I realize that's speculative, but I can't help but engage in some speculation.

Edit: whoever came up with the name for these laws and the resulting "anti-SLAPP" moniker deserves an award of some sort.

$1 billion in damages LOL.

Edit: Trump years are the funniest. Bring a new meaning to throwing a number out there.

Another setback for Trump.

>>>A federal appeals court said on Monday that Alina Habba had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, dealing a blow to the Trump administration and most likely setting up a showdown at the Supreme Court. . . .

Monday’s ruling was the second time in a week that a federal appeals court panel has dealt a heavy blow to Mr. Trump and Ms. Habba.

On Wednesday, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals based in Atlanta upheld nearly $1 million in penalties meted out by a lower court judge against the president and Ms. Habba for filing “frivolous” lawsuits against more than two dozen of his enemies, including Hillary Clinton, James Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and the Democratic National Committee.<<<

Will the U.S. Supreme Court reverse? I have no idea, your guess is as good as mine.

Thanks, saw that this morning's news. 3 /0, 2 appointed by Bush, one by Obama. Any of here cases if she had any may be reversed or nullified?

That appeals court in the 11th district should have applied penalty of $1billion against them since they are so keen on using such amounts themselves against opponents. Claw back all those gains in the crypto.
That might get their attention.
