She demanded that he retract his claim and pay her something like a billion dollars to show contrition and remorse.

He refused and filed a pre-emptive lawsuit against Melania (because under NY law, you can't sue a journalist unless it's for defamation). And what Melania is worried about is that his lawsuit would subject her to Discovery, which means papers and depositions under Oath. And questions about Epstein.

As far as I've heard, the lawsuit hasn't been dismissed. And she has a choice of not answering the summons and complaint, saying nothing, and paying Wolfe the full amount of his claim or going through embarrassing questions.

You know the rest.

Go to Youtube and watch the Daily Beast every day. Wolfe and Joanna discuss in detail.

99% ramble, IMO.

TLDR: Bring up Epstein to distract from the disastrous war that was begun to distract from Epstein.

It is THAT twisted.

Did she never hear of the Streisand effect? This spotlights Epstein just when Trump swept it under the carpet with the Epstein (Iran) war.

The only thing I can figure is there might be trouble between Trump and Melania. Is she attempting to thwart a move by Donald against her by refocusing the publics attention on Epstein? Remember, Trump will throw anyone under the bus to save himself.

Yeah, my Machiavellian mind is at work here. But it is a strange move with strange timing.
