Melania Threatens To Sue People Magazine

CBS News reports:

Melania Trump says portions of a People Magazine story alleging a sexual assault by her husband are “false and completely fictionalized.” She is demanding a retraction and apology and threatening to sue the publication.

The story was a first-person account by Natasha Stoynoff of an interview she did with Donald and Melania Trump at their home in Mar-a-Lago. Stoynoff says that when Melania Trump left the room, her husband pushed Stoynoff against a wall and sexually assaulted her. The Republican presidential candidate says the account is untrue.

Mrs. Trump’s lawyer, Charles Harder, wrote that the article’s description of the encounter between Melania Trump and Stoynoff after the interview is “false and complexly fictionalized.” Harder was Hulk Hogan’s lead lawyer in the suit against Gawker.
