First lady can’t sue Daily Mail over salacious libel in Maryland just because she’s suing a blogger there for the same thing: court
The ruling won’t necessarily end the litigation against the online Daily Mail. Trump’s attorneys said late Thursday that they will refile the claims in New York City. Bringing the online Daily Mail into the same legal venue was more of a reach given the complicated web of corporations and publishing networks in the creation and publication of the online Daily Mail article. They argued that because the online site has many readers in Maryland, the online Daily Mail transacts business in the state. “It would be unreasonable as a matter of constitutional due process for this court to exert jurisdiction” over the online Daily Mail, Burrell wrote.
