Melania Trump removes apparent profit intentions from 'sex business' lawsuit against Daily Mail [View all]
Melania Trump has scrubbed from her lawsuit against the Daily Mail claims that the website wrecked her chances at profiting off her husband's presidency by describing her as a hooker in a since-deleted news story.
The First Lady filed a $150 million defamation suit against The Mail earlier this month over an Aug. 19 article that claimed she worked as an "elite escort" in the "sex business" during the 1990s.
Trump charged in her original suit that the allegedly bogus story destroyed her "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to launch a "multi-million dollar business" as "one of the most photographed women in the world."
But an amended complaint obtained by the Daily News on Tuesday no longer contains Trump's apparent intensions to strike it rich in the White House. Previously listed details about "product categories" that Trump was looking to invest in had also been removed.
