Melania Trump's complaints don't center around the assault accusations, however. Instead she says she didn't in fact meet the writer, Natasha Stoynoff, on Fifth Avenue later that winter, and that a reported conversation between the two women didn't take place.

The lawyers demand a "prominent retraction and apology."

Harder Mirell & Abrams has a history of representing Hollywood celebrities, most recently Hulk Hogan in his lawsuit against Gawker.

On Thursday, People's editor-in-chief defended the decision to publish Stoynoff's article, praising the "remarkable, ethical, honest and patriotic woman" for making her story public.
