First lady Melania Trump is being sued by an author who alleges she threatened a billion-dollar lawsuit against him for writing about her supposed ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein .

“Mrs. Trump’s claims are made for the sole purpose of harassing, intimidating, punishing or otherwise maliciously inhibiting Mr. Wolff’s free exercise of speech,” says the lawsuit , which was filed by author Michael Wolff on Tuesday in the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan.

The filing contains a letter sent by Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, to Wolff last week urging him to “immediately retract” and apologize for making “false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump” linking her to Epstein in his book Fire and Fury .
