The White House just followed through on Donald Trump’s earlier promise to release a list of terrorist attacks that the media was “refusing to cover.” It will come as no surprise that in fact, the vast majority of the 78 attacks were in fact reported on quite extensively, and the rest were so minor they didn’t deserve any coverage. Included on the list are the major attacks in Paris, Nice, and Brussels, as well as a list of anybody who committed a crime and then said “I did it for ISIS!” – like a Philadelphia man with mental illness who shot a police officer in the arm and then claimed allegiance to Daesh (ISIS/ISIL).
29. First Lady Melania Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against The Daily Mail‘s online branch, Mail Online, for publishing a story in August 2016 that alleged she had once worked as an escort. Nothing is amiss with this situation. However, Melania must prove in her suit that the defamation caused personal damage in some way – and her reasoning is very troubling. Melania seems to claim that Mail Online’s false article has damaged her ability to exploit the role of First Lady to turn a profit – an expected $150 million that she is seeking in damages. This would be highly illegal under the Emoluments Clause.
