Media Facing Lawsuits Over False Melania Trump Reports
Newsmax ^ | August 22, 2016 | Eric Mack

Posted on 08/22/2016 7:49:02 PM PDT by Mozilla

The lawyer for Melania Trump has notified news agencies, including The Daily Mail and Politico, of potential legal action against those who have defamed Mrs. Trump as "having been an 'escort' in the 1990s," attorney Charles Harder said in an email statement to CNN.

The Daily Mail, The Week, Politico, Inquisitr, Tarpley, Before It's News, Liberal America, LawNewz, Winning Democrats and Bipartisan Report were the publications addressed in the email warning, the Trump lawyer told CNNMoney on Monday.

The Daily Mail referenced a report in a Slovenian magazine about the escort claim and several organizations potentially repeated the libelous report. Harder, who represented Hulk Hogan in his defamation suit against Gawker, told CNNMoney the notices represent a threat to sue and warning to issue a correction or a retraction.

Inquisitr and Bipartisan Report both issued retractions of the "hearsay" reports Monday.

Smearing is all they have. They have no ideas, no conscience and no success in life. All they do is cheat to win and then destroy and blame it on others.

I wonder why Ted Cruz didn’t sue for libel?

Like always, the media is trying to dig up dirt on a Republican not running for office, but ignoring facts about the Democrat who IS running for office.

... I am so glad to hear that somebody is finally fighting back. The left is so use to steamrolling over those on the right with almost absolute impunity that they have no idea that there could actually be repercussions to their libelous actions.

..... It's time to turn the tables and drown the left in their libelous ways. Time to start biting some fingers and ripping off some of their low lying fruit that has been growing for decades ........

——I wonder why Ted Cruz didn’t sue for libel?-——

because as a senator he can inflict far more damage to a Trump administration than suing him for libel...

Ted is looking for revenge....

Rick Perry may deny him that dish...

I would agree that Ted’s senate time is likely coming to an end....with Rick Perry surprising people.

But the question ought to lead to: what does Ted do next? Does he end up at Fox News with a show?

Ted has no case against Trump unless you’re referring to the media fabricated stories. Ted gave as well as he got so the insults went both ways.

Too close to the truth? If so he might have lost.

I certainly wouldn’t want a billionaire coming after me to sue me. My chances of success would be 0

Daily Mail will fall under the far stricter British libel laws. Open your checkbooks, you weasels!

Because when one sues, the truth is "libel" to come out...

“All the left does is smear.”.......

True or false, once said, it is hard to remove from the minds of those who have heard it. The Clinton’s are masters at the art of persuasion. By throwing something/anything against the wall enough times, eventually some of it will stick.

Cruz lost the primary.

Can FR stop trashing him now? This anti-Cruz fixation is just getting weird.
