I am assuming the court would find her to be a public person and therefore malice on Trump's part would be required to be proven.

A longtime Republican consultant who has been harshly criticized by Donald J. Trump filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit on Monday accusing him and his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, of making false statements that harmed her professionally and personally.
The consultant, Cheri Jacobus, accused Mr. Trump and Mr. Lewandowski of libeling her by depicting her as a disappointed job-seeker who turned on Mr. Trump after he declined to hire her.
When Ms. Jacobus criticized Mr. Trump on CNN in late January and early February, Mr. Trump branded her on Twitter as “a real dummy” who had “begged my people for a job.” Mr. Lewandowski described her in similar terms on television.
But in the legal filing, Ms. Jacobus claims those accusations were false and caused “enormous damage to her career and reputation, significant emotional distress” and held her up to “public ridicule.”
The jabs from the Trump camp prompted an onslaught of online abuse, according to the lawsuit and news reports. “The attacks by Trump’s followers were laced with sexual degradation and pornographic vulgarity,” the lawsuit states. It says of Ms. Jacobus, “She was depicted in numerous graphic illustrations as an appropriate victim for rape and sexual assault.”
Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, said in a statement that the lawsuit had no merit. “This is just another frivolous lawsuit and an attempt to gain notoriety at the expense of Donald Trump,” she said.
The litigation comes only days after the Trump campaign escaped another embarrassing legal bind, after a Florida prosecutor declined to prosecute Mr. Lewandowski on a charge of battery for after he was accused of manhandling a reporter at a campaign event.

garbage tactics. establishment garbage tactics.
I hope Trump countersues.
This is what the Beltway does to anyone who trips up their plan.
Another reason to get back to more local control, just like the founders intended.
Is this yet another woman "scorned?"

Did he do what is alleged? There have been many similar postings of other women even here on fr.
How many other candidates have had this type of lawsuit filed at this time in the campaign?
I do not know your answer but she did not just sit up there and threaten to do it multiple times until it got old to the public like the Donald.
She really did it.
You must be referring to all the times the Don has threatened to sue, but then nothing. Like he did with Cruz a couple times and that Fields lady.
“When Ms. Jacobus criticized Mr. Trump on CNN in late January and early February, Mr. Trump branded her on Twitter as “a real dummy” who had “begged my people for a job.” Mr. Lewandowski described her in similar terms on television.”
Seems malicious to me.
She’s a disgusting person - and a Rubio supporter at that. Trump would never hire that pig.
Trump And Lewandowski should counter-sue and keep her in lawyers fees for years to come, just for the fun of it:

No mention, of course, about the outright lies by Michell Fields and dog-and-pony show she put on display via national television.
‘Escaped’ a legal bind? I think not.
The New York Times - (as Gerald Celente puts it): ‘The Toilet Paper of Record’.
Too funny. This loser asked Trump for a job.
ALL these people will be scrambling for their high dollar consulting gigs if Trump is elected.
Cheri Jacobus Calls Out Donald Trump for his Debate Ditch in Iowa
Published on Jan 27, 2016
“The fact that Donald Trump has made this about him and the press rather than about the voters I think is despicable” says Cheri Jacobus in response to Trump’s debate ditch in Iowa
LOL, but now, afterward...she’s called voters “stupid” and “low-info” and she’s all for anything that disenfranchises voters to stop Trump: https://twitter.com/CheriJacobus/status/714544331915399168
Why don’t you wipe the brown off your nose.
