Th e Department of Justice (DOJ) dismissed a Trump-era lawsuit on Monday against the woman who authored a tell-all book about former first lady Melania Trump.

Justice Department officials requested the dismissal of its lawsuit against Stephanie Winston Wolkoff for her memoir called “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of my Friendship with the First Lady,” which had accused the author of violating a White House nondisclosure agreement.

Attorneys for the Justice Department did not give a reason for seeking the dismissal. It is one of the first lawsuits not being pursued by the Biden DOJ following the departure of the Trump administration.

...A DOJ spokesperson responded to the dismissal in a comment to Politico, saying, “the Department evaluated the case and concluded that dismissal without prejudice was in the best interests of the United States based on the facts and the law.”
