US First Lady Melania Trump has re-filed a legal case against UK newspaper Daily Mail, saying it cost her the "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to profit from her brand.~
Mrs Trump's lawyers have now re-filed the complaint in New York, where Mail Media Inc, which owns the Daily Mail, has offices.
Mrs Trump is seeking damages of $150m (£120m).

Delicious irony, one of the lying hate filled newspapers that foisted Brexit and NHS lies on us and the biggest supporter of Nigel Farage could be put out of business if Melania wins her case. This may be one of the few good things to come from a Trump Presidency - but could she also take on the "Express" and "the Sun" too please?

Profiting from her role as First Lady??

She doesn't need to profit but, this happened before the election.

The original lawsuit was thrown out due to jurisdiction
This lawsuit was filed after the election
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/07/us/politics/melania-trump-libel-suit-daily-mail.html?_r=0

A lawsuit filed by Melania Trump depicts her heightened profile as a “unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to make millions of dollars in business, once again raising questions about the relationship between President Trump’s official role and his family’s business interests.

Mrs. Trump’s suit, filed on Monday in a New York State court, accuses The Daily Mail, a British tabloid, of libel for reporting last year on claims that a modeling agency she worked for in the 1990s was also an escort service.

A spokeswoman for Mrs. Trump said she was not trying to make money from her role as first lady.

Did they wrong her or not?

IMHO, yes, they also retracted the story. Libel claims against a public figure are hard to prove
Next in the meat of the claim is the millions she lost out on. As First Lady? If not what business/product lines did she have planned for rolling out?
 
Re: Could Melania Trump do what many honest reporters and inquirers have failed to do

The slanderous article was posted way before that. Don't be difficult by making **** up.
Lets get something straight- Where did I say it was not? No where. It is not me that is fabricating an argument

Putrid irony. A lying hate-filled poster praises someone he hates for suing newspapers he hates.

Stop bringing in the First Lady stuff, it's irrelevant. Seems you're trying to cloud up the issue and make her claim illegitimate.

~ A lying hate-filled poster

Lemme guess, you're still smarting from being identified in fact based surveys for fitting the bill for the typical Brexit & Trump supporting populace?

~ newspapers he hates.

The Mail and other newspapers (including the Mirror) supported fascism yes or no?

Feel free to address the subject of the thread from now on please.

Not sure how and if this comes out of a Trump presidency, seeing how the whole affair unfolded well before that.

But the Fail getting it with baseball bats from any or all corners of the field is commendable at least.

Howzzat for thoughts and comments all rolled into one?:mrgreen:

This of yours sounds more like your goodself is the one with a load of hate to spew. But good move not to keep it bottled up.

No hate, just facts. Not someone, blinded by prejudice and Islamophilia, who denies those facts because he does not wish them to exist. Not someone who pretends to know more about a country he has never even visited than a man who has been a serving police officer who has served there for 47 years.

Well, if you're implying that I've never visited Sweden, you'd be wrong.

Not the only thing you don't know about me, judging by your whole post.

To someone with delicate sensibilities, no doubt.

You're a sweetheart.

This is what Mr Goodself is all upset about. Two different surveys accurately point out which segment of the voting public he fits into.

Ah yes.

I stayed out of that one (usually stay out of that forum altogether) but if I had that sort of reading comprehension issue I'd probably be near apoplexy myself.

Directing my subsequent fury (thus is human nature) at the next best target to avoid having to crown my very own self.:mrgreen:

I think that the city of Liverpool is taking on 'The Sun' in the way that our newly 'anti-establishment' politicians are in fear of their careers to do.

~our newly 'anti-establishment' politicians are in fear of their careers to do.

Very good point, amuses me to see people dress themselves as anti-establishment, anti-elite and then bring in their cronies or take on the trappings of the very elite they supposedly despise when given the first sniff of power.

Well done Liverpool FC but they were pressured into it by groups in Liverpool, this was something they should have done 20 years ago.
