Melania Trump filed a libel lawsuit Thursday evening against the British Daily Mail newspaper and a private blogger over their claims that she worked as an escort during the 1990s.
The wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and former supermodel announced earlier this month her lawyers would pursue legal action against the British publication for reporting “100 percent false” rumors about her vocation, as well as purporting she entered the U.S. without legal permission at the time.
Trump has had a heated relationship with the media since launching his campaign 15 months ago. He has regularly called the media “liars” for covering Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in what he says is a better light than his campaign.
It was not immediately clear which court Melania Trump filed the suit in, how much she is suing the two entities for or what type of damages she hopes to recover.
