Melania Trump sues Daily Mail for libel

Published September 1, 2016 9:29pm ET



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.
