Judge Tosses Michael Wolff’s Lawsuit Against Melania Trump, Calls Claims ‘Contorted’

A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by author and journalist against former first lady , sharply criticizing the legal arguments presented in the case and describing them as “contorted” and inconsistent with how “courts work.”

The ruling marks a significant setback for Wolff, who sought legal action tied to disputes involving statements and allegations connected to his reporting and commentary on the Trump family.

Judge Rejects Legal Theory

In the dismissal, the judge reportedly took issue not only with the merits of the lawsuit but also with the broader legal framework Wolff attempted to use.

According to the ruling, the court found the arguments overly strained and lacking sufficient legal grounding. The judge emphasized that courts are bound by established legal standards and procedures, rejecting what was described as an attempt to stretch those principles beyond their intended scope.

The unusually blunt language in the opinion quickly drew attention, particularly the judge’s remark that the lawsuit reflected a misunderstanding of how “courts work.”
