Trump lawyer sends threatening letter to LawNewz.com..

Trump was offended by the LawNewz story questioning Melania's immigration status in the 90's.

http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/lawnewz-hit-with-melania-trump-legal-threat/

LawNewz.com was among 10 media organizations hit with a letter from Melania Trump‘s lawyer, Charles Harder, threatening legal action. While several media organizations have reported that their letter was in response to stories alleging Melania was an “escort,” (and some have apologized already for that) we did not report such story on our website. Instead, our letter was related to a legal opinion article from August 4, 2016. In the piece, attorney and LawNewz.com columnist Elura Nanos. questioned whether Melania Trump committed visa fraud.

Nanos analyzed, based on Trump’s public statements, whether she had worked in the United States legally, and if she had the proper visas to do so. Nanos concluded that Melania Trump, may have, in fact, committed visa fraud, and also pointed to Melania Trump’s seemingly conflicting explanations regarding that time period. Nanos was concerned that Mrs. Trump was not telling the truth.

On Monday, we received a legal letter demanding an apology and retraction for this story from Trump’s attorney, Charles Harder. He listed nine lines in the story they found objectionable.
