Following last Saturdays (Jan 19) Telegraph magazine cover story The mystery of Melania, 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 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.

LOL. I really hope that fake news smear propaganda was indeed very costly.

LMAO.
On getting out of bed this morning, I just saw this headline and then read the first three paragraphs. I thought it may be some well written satire from The Peoples Cube.
But apparently not.
The left Propaganda never ends!

. see # 62.
WHO wrote the original article? Are they still employed? If so, go get me some donuts.

Speaking of names, what's the name of the writer of the article?
These journalists that get so many things wrong might want to reconsider their position on man-made climate change.
There is a very good chance of that, considering the legal team that is being assembled. It should be great fun to watch!
From L. Lin Wood:
"In the coming weeks, we will be carefully reviewing all of the false accusations and threats made against Nick. We fully expect that a multitude of civil lawsuits will be filed and aggressively pursued."
Propaganda costs the UK Telegraph huge.
Bravo Melania!
They support the status quo, which is the European version of Progressivism.

I was thinking we haven’t seen much/any of Melania lately. I wonder if credible threats against the family have increased.
Other than that, the original article was accurate./s
These lies were about easily verifiable facts, not opinions. The lies have probably been repeated on Twitter, etc., millions of times and will stay out there for LIVs to believe.
Just saw this story today. They learn nothing, the press. She successfully sued The Daily Mail for its lies and has now threatens the supposedly conservative Telegraph for its lies. What a grovelling apology!!
It is beyond me why these guys want to go after a woman who is as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn or Jacqueline Bisset. It makes them look like total ogres and yet they are compelled to do it. Maybe because they can’t get a date with a beauty themselves? Or women reporters who are insanely jealous?
“What a grovelling apology!!”
Yes, more like this please.
Without a lawyer and the threat of a larger suit ‘the press’ never would have apologized.
It has nothing to do with anything you cite, that is why you can’t understand why.
Listing the details of each lie and its correction in the apology article was probably required by the settlement.
See #11.
And FWIW that quote you used wasn’t mine.
