Michael Wolff pushes discovery in lawsuit against Melania Trump

writersApr 9, 20261082

Michael Wolff filed a federal lawsuit seeking declaratory relief against Melania Trump, and he is pressing for discovery. Wolff says that discovery could include depositions into her alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including his claim that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump. Melania threatened to sue Wolff for $1 billion over his statements, and Wolff sued first to block that effort and force the issue into court. If judges allow broad discovery, sworn depositions and documents could produce legally and politically consequential evidence about the Trump family.
