JUST IN: Melania Trump settles lawsuit against blogger…

by The Right Scoop

Melania Trump has won her libel suit against a blogger who said last year that she had been an ‘escort’.

Here’s the reported statement from Melania:

And here’s the apology from the jerk who lied about her:

Here’s what the case was about, specifically, according to Lawnewz:

Last year, on Tarpley’s website, Tarpley.net, he blogged about how there were reports that Melania suffered from a “breakdown” after accusations she plagiarized portions of her speech at the GOP Convention, according to court documents. He also blogged about “rumors” from other sources that Melania once worked as a high-end escort. Tarpley issued a retraction and apologized shortly after publishing the story, but Trump sued anyway. The Daily Mail published a similar story, which has since been retracted, but Melania sued them as well.

It’s being reported that the blogger has not only agreed to apologize, but to pay Melania Trump a ‘substantial sum’. I wonder if that sum is substantial for Tarpley or substantial for Melania… My guess is it’s the former, considering Melania Trump is a billionaire.
