The British newspaper "Daily Telegraph" has apologized in a letter to the American First Lady Melania Trump and sent her a "substantial sum". This was due to an article that contained many misstatements. "As a sign of our regret, we agreed to pay Mrs Trump a substantial sum and pay for her legal expenses," the newspaper said in a statement.
The newspaper apologized for a cover story called "The Mystery of Melania," which was released in January. It said that Trump's career as a model was unsuccessful before she met Donald Trump. It also contained misrepresentations about her father and the reasons why she had dropped out of architecture studies.
"We accept that Ms. Trump was a successful professional model before meeting her husband and building her career without his support," the Daily Telegraph writes in its apology letter. In addition, it is untrue that Melania Trump cried in the presidential election night.
The Daily Telegraph is one of the largest British newspapers and is considered to be traditionally conservative.
