British newspaper The Daily Telegraph has paid substantial damages to Melania Trump and apologised unreservedly to the US first lady after making a number of false claims about her life in an article.
The piece promised to tell the truth on what it described as the most private and enigmatic of presidential wives after interviews with White House insiders, Slovenian school friends and photographers.
The newspaper said in a statement retracting the piece: Mrs Trumps 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 accept that Mrs Trump was a successful professional model in her own right before she met her husband and obtained her own modelling work without his assistance. Mrs Trump met Mr Trump in 1998, not in 1996 as stated in the article. The article also wrongly claimed that Mrs Trumps mother, father and sister relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Mr Trump. They did not. The claim that Mrs Trump cried on election night is also false.
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.

The Donald is not the only one who knows how to “schlong” a newspaper.
bttt
Some integrity from the media.
Amazing.
Damn. The Daily Telegraph is usually good....or at least they used to be. What in the world were they thinking employing a hack from Newsweak? Anybody at Newsweak is an obvious foaming at the mouth Leftist. Those are the only types who ever would go anywhere near that dying rag.
Apologies are nice, but when the Left has to write a check...that’s the cherry on the sundae.
To the First Lady's List.
One win.
“CNN and MSNBC will soon be coughing up loads of cash and apologies for what they did to the Covington high school kids.”
Don’t leave out their church, their school, and entertainment celebrities.
