Following last Saturday’s (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 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 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 Trump’s 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.

Ka-Boom, Ka-Ching!
Wow, that’s a whole lot of Fake News they had to walk back.
Other than spelling her name correctly did they get anything right?
Anything at all? lol
Wow, look at that list of errors. Is the writer still employed?
If there is any group similar to Media Research Center in England that would be a great place to donate the settlement.
Beautiful, strong and conservative!
I wish they’d apologize to her husband for all the lies.
In summary, the only thing that was accurate was the spelling of her name.
Sounds like somebody had a very uncomfortable chat with a Trump lawyer...
They put him on the GlobalClimateWarmingChange beat. No one will question his work there. Highly qualified.
British laws make it far easier to sue for defamation than laws in the USA.
It prolly wasn’t all that expensive pro rata.
The Telegraph used to be one of the only conservative papers in the UK. Looks like they have jumped the fence.
Was there anything in the original article that was actually true?
Wow, do not attract the attention of Melania’s lawyers!
Pretty foolish of them.
In other words, most of the article was lies.
Somebody got spanked by a lawyer!
