A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Wednesday against Donald Trump’s modeling agency, reports Reuters. Alexia Palmer sued Trump Model Management LLC in 2014, saying she was promised a $75,000 salary. She was only paid $3,880.75 and sought $250,000 in back pay. Palmer, who is from Jamaica, also claimed she was used as part of a plan to “lure foreign models to the United States.”
Trump’s lawyers called the claim “frivolous” and “without merit.” The judge said there was insufficient evidence for both claims, so that’s one less lawsuit the GOP front-runner has to worry about.
