Melania Trump, wife of US Republican
presidential hopeful Donald Trump, is suing a Slovenian journalist for
defamation over claims that she previously worked with an escort agency,
her attorney said Wednesday.
The suit, filed last Friday at a court
in the capital Ljubljana, accuses journalist Tomaz Mihelic of defamation
as well as making false and unverified statements against the
Slovenian-born former model.
The claims were published in Slovenian celebrity magazine Suzy in August and repeated in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, in which Mihelic was interviewed under the fake initials S.S.
