Trump filed the lawsuit in Maryland after both Tarpley and the Daily Mail issued retractions. Subsequently, the lawsuit submitted on Monday was filed in New York, where Mail Media Inc has offices. The updated filing said the article published in August caused Trump’s brand to lose significant value as well as major business opportunities that were otherwise available to her. It does state, however, that the Mail article “impugned her fitness to perform her duties as first lady of the United States” as well as “her duties in business”. It comes at a time when questions continue to be asked about the ethical implications of the Trump family’s business ventures.
