Britain’s Telegraph newspaper has apologised and paid damages to U.S. First Lady Melania Trump after publishing an article it says contains many false statements.
The newspaper said on Saturday that it apologises “unreservedly” to Ms. Trump and her family for any embarrassment caused by the content of a cover story published on January 19 in the newspaper’s weekly magazine supplement.
The Telegraph said it falsely characterised Ms. Trump’s father’s personality, falsely reported the reasons she left an architecture programme, and falsely reported that her career as a model was unsuccessful before she met Donald Trump.
It also retracted the statement that Ms. Trump’s father, mother and sister had relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Mr. Trump.
