British Newspaper Publishes Massive Apology to Melania Trump; Will Pay First Lady ‘Substantial Damages’ and Legal Costs
The British newspaper The Telegraph published a massive apology Saturday to First Lady Melania Trump regarding an article published January 19 that began with the admission, “we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published†and concluded with a promise to pay “substantial damages†and legal costs.
Following last Saturday’s (Jan 19) Telegraph magazine cover story “The mystery of Melaniaâ€, we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published. Mrs Trump’s father was not a fearsome presence and did not control the family. Mrs Trump did not leave her Design and Architecture course at University relating to the completion of an exam, as alleged in the article, but rather because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model. Mrs Trump was not struggling in her modelling career before she met Mr Trump, and she did not advance in her career due to the assistance of Mr Trump.
We apologise unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations. As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.
In 2017, Melania Trump settled libel suits filed in the U.S. and U.K. against the U.K. Daily Mail with the paper paying the First Lady a reported $2.9 million according to CNN.
Trump will be paid about $2.9 million in damages and costs, according to a source familiar with the settlement.
