Judge Tosses Wolff Suit, Clearing Path For $1B Melania Claim

In the interview that formed the basis for the retracted piece, Wolff said he reported that the first lady was “behind the scenes” dealing with the situation at the White House, but was not involved criminally.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace praised Melania Trump at the time for coming out against Epstein.

“Melania Trump stands with victims,” Mace said, citing the first lady’s advocacy for legislation addressing the distribution of fake intimate images. “The truth will prevail.”

Democratic lawmakers also commented following the statement.
