Michael Wolff has serious leverage OVER Melania and Donald Trump. He owns the truth and has the receipts. He has no merger or broadcast license to lose. Just 10s of millions of new readers who are also USA voters to gain.

She will learn Mr. Wolff is no push over and she would be opening a large vat of squirming worms which would not be very palatable.

Corporate media is hopeless. Chomsky told us this decades ago.
