Melania Trump re-files Daily Mail lawsuit without controversial wording

Lawyers for US First Lady Melania Trump have re-filed a defamation case against UK newspaper Daily Mail.

The new complaint drops wording that said Mrs Trump missed a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to profit from her brand, due to a Daily Mail article.

The initial complaint had led critics to question if she intended to gain financially from being first lady.

The Daily Mail had reported allegations that she once worked as an escort, but later retracted its article.

Mrs Trump is still seeking damages of $150m (£120m).

The suit initially said that Mrs Trump had the "unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... to launch a broad-based commercial brand in multiple product categories, each of which could have garnered multi-million dollar business relationships for a multi-year term during which [she] is one of the most photographed women in the world".

The products categories would have included apparel, accessories, shoes, jewellery, cosmetics, hair care, skin care and fragrance, it added.

After criticism, her lawyer, Charles Harder, denied to US media that Mrs Trump had plans to profit from her high-profile status as first lady.

"It is not a possibility. Any statements to the contrary are being misinterpreted," a statement said.

The new version of the complaint, filled in New York on Friday, focused on the emotional distress of the Daily Mail report.

"[The] false and defamatory statements about [Mrs Trump] have caused tremendous harm to [her] personal and professional reputation and prospective economic opportunities, as well as causing her significant humiliation and emotional distress," it said.

In its retraction of the 20 August article, the Daily Mail had said it "did not intend to state or suggest that these allegations are true, nor did it intend to state or suggest that Mrs Trump ever worked as an 'escort' or in the 'sex business'."

Mrs Trump had also sued a US blogger, Wester Tarpley, for making similar allegations to the Daily Mail. The case was settled after he issued an apology and agreed to pay a "substantial sum as a settlement", her lawyers said.

Earlier this month, a reporter from the New York Times was reprimanded by the paper for referring to Mrs Trump as a "hooker". He later apologised, saying the remark was based on "unfounded rumours".

She should hope that she can gather as much money as she can con off from being the alleged First Lady before Trump and Tillerson go through with their treasonous oil deal involving dropping the sanctions, making the Crimea a permanent part of Russia and leaving Eastern Europe and tens of millions of innocent and currently free people and future slaves to Russia, to the "tender mercies" of Vladimir Putin to rebuild the old Soviet Union, while Tillerson and Trump count the billions of dollars in illegal kickbacks they get from Putin for being his puppets and willing co-thief's and conspirators. For the crimes Trump, Tillerson and Putin (among others) are going to commit they should all be sentenced to the harshest penalty for being traitors to their country under Federal law. Trump and Tillerson will be responsible for hundreds of times of more deaths then Timothy McVeigh.

FINALLY!  Pleasus, Harry and Yoseph, I've been screaming about Trump's motivation since I discovered how many shares of Exxon Mobil he owns.  And Rex Tillerson?  Holy crap, the man might not be acting CEO of EM, but he is still director of Neftegas, the EM subsidiary created to work in concert with Russia's state-owned counterpart, Rosneft.  I have no problem saying that Trump's motivation is entirely about Russia and Sakhalin-1. 

And Melania Trump?  What a stupid lawsuit.  Besides, she can say what she wants, but I've seen the nude imagery...including the lesbian thing, and she wants to convince people that she's pure as the driven snow?  My.  Big.  Butt.  However, it's the timing and the reason behind the suit that makes both of my eyeballs spin in one socket.  She's representing MY country...by cashing in on her position as 'First Lady'?   Is it against the law to want to slap the implants right out of her tits?

Every business he has been involved with he has fucked up and driven into the ground. That won't happen this time because Putin and Tillerson are smarter then Trump. When Trump finds a way to drop the sanctions against Russia dealing with that huge oil and gas field then EXXON/Mobil, Rex Tillerson, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump (and others in the Russian and American Mafia) will have become fabulously wealthy by pulling off the greatest scam in the history of the world. It will not be just the crime of the century, it will be the biggest crime of all time. It will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars and it is the reason Putin and his intelligence officers worked so hard to get Trump elected. Putin, Trump and Tillerson will have committed the biggest crime in the history of the world. And with greasing Sessions palm with a big chunk, they'll get away with it too.

I still can't discover what's happened to Paul Manafort.  I've searched everywhere, either I've missed something, or he's somewhere he might not want to be.  Any ideas?

The last I heard (last fall) is that he is doing "lobbying" in a small K Street firm (which means he's there but doing nothing) and waiting for a call to be a go between between Trump and Vitcor Yanukovych to help him return to power in the Ukraine when Putin takes over after the Crimea becomes officially his and he moves in on the rest of the country without interference since Trump will have dropped the sanctions. He is rumored to be in nearly constant contact with Yanukovych and Putin.

The good news is that both Graham and McCain are said to be on to it and determined to stop any dropping of any sanctions, which could screw up the whole crime. Look for them both to become sick.

Of course Graham and McCain have both said they are aware of what the think is happening concerning the dropping of the sanctions and they and some other "hawks" in the Senate will make sure it doesn't happen. Wouldn't be surprised if they both get heavy metal poisoning.

McCain and Graham couldn't find each others asses with their own tongues. 2008, McCain did not even know how many houses he owned. Of course they were in his wifes' name, but nonetheless..... And Graham has to get his lips surgically removed  someday, from McCains' ass, and come up with an original idea or even a legislative act, once in his life.

They will be the Senators, among a few others who believe that putting America over party, who believe that preserving America and democracy is more important then party politics that will stop Trump. Because if they don't then welcome to The United Soviet Socialist States of America, run by Vladimir Putin through Donald Trump.

This is not a game. People think that this is just another administration that some people don't like and others do, but it is so much more then that. Our country, our nation, our democracy is at stake and a combination of people like the Trumps and Putin and Tillerson are going to take it away from us if we let them. There are no more jokes. If you do not see how close to the edge we are, if you do not see the very real danger we are in, then you are either not paying attention, are incredibly naive or simply do not care what happens to your country.

All joking aside, Randy. McCain and Graham have easily and quickly been reduced to second rate legislators by the MAGA nazis. If McCain lives until his term expires he won't run again. Graham only rattles sabres or makes noise when his handlers need to jerk his chain to make a point, or vote with the other repukes. Neither one is doing his job for the Trumpsters who elected them just because they had an R. next to their names. McCain in Syria, for Chrissake. Meanwhile his state is in crisis mode, illegals are coming over the border by the thousands, and the rest of us are paying for his states' health care, because their legislators rejected the AFC health care option. And Graham has his hand out to the Military contractors in SC to add to his retirement fund. GoFundMe has nothing on him!

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree.
