Melania Trump, the third wife of GOP presidential nominee Donald, over the weekend threatened British tabloid The Daily Mail with a libel suit after it suggested the Slovenian modeling agency she worked for in the '90s also operated as a pricey escort service.
The Week, Politico, Inquisitr, Tarpley, Before It's News, Liberal America, LawNewz, Winning Democrats and Bipartisan Report were also "put on notice," according to CNN Money.
Melania's lawyer, Charles Harder, recently headed Peter Thiel's shadowy legal battle with Gawker, which filed for bankruptcy and subsequently closed its doors on Monday.
In an email to Politico, Harder called the claims "100% false, highly damaging to her reputation, and personally hurtful."
"She understands that news media have certain leeway in a presidential campaign," he continued, "but outright lying about her in this way exceeds all bounds of appropriate news reporting and human decency."
