Book publisher HarperCollins UK issued an apology Tuesday after a recent book made claims that first lady Melania Trump was introduced to her husband through convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The publisher worked with Andrew Lownie, author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” to remove “several passages of the book that made unverified claims” about the first lady, according to a statement posted on social platform X. Trump also shared the statement on her social media.

“Copies of the book that include those references are being permanently removed from distribution,” the statement reads. “HarperCollins UK apologizes to the first lady.”

In August, Democratic strategist James Carville apologized and took down a YouTube video where he said Melania Trump met the president through Epstein. She met him at New York’s Kit Kat Klub, according to her memoir.

“After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump’s lawyer,” Carville said in a subsequent podcast episode. “He took issue with our title of one of those YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the first lady.”

What are the chances that the rest of the book is anything but BS?
Slim to none?

They “apologized” to the “first lady,” did they? 🙄

Worthless apology. Sue them anyway.

Each printed copy of that book is one count of libel.
