Melania Trump – An Apology

Melania Trump




26 JANUARY 2019 • 12:01AM

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.

Good. Terrible reporting all across the board by the media about this family. The MSM is corrupt without integrity, standards, morals or intelligence. Never seen anything like the massive drastic decline in journalism.

Melania Trump: Telegraph apologises and pays damages

• 2 hours ago

The Daily Telegraph has apologised "unreservedly" to Melania Trump and agreed to pay her "substantial damages" for an article it published last week.

The paper said its Saturday Magazine cover story "The Mystery of Melania" contained a number of false statements.

These included claims the US First Lady was struggling in her modelling career before she met her husband and that she cried on election night, it said.

The paper accepted the statements should not have been published.

It said it would also pay Mrs Trump's legal costs.

In an apology printed on Saturday, the paper accepted 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".

It said 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 Donald Trump.

The paper added that Mrs Trump's father was not "a fearsome presence" and "did not control the family", as alleged in the article.

It also accepted that Mrs Trump did not leave her Design and Architecture course at university for reasons relating to the completion of an exam but because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model.
