The Daily Mail has apologised to Melania Trump and agreed to pay unspecified damages after the wife of the US president brought a libel lawsuit against the newspaper group.
Catrin Evans QC, representing Associated Newspapers, the British parent company of the Daily Mail and Mail Online, said in a statement read at the High Court in London yesterday the “defendant acknowledges that these claims about the claimant are untrue and we retract and withdraw them”.
Ms Evans added: “The defendant is here today publicly to set the record straight and to apologise to the claimant for any distress and embarrassment that the articles may have caused her.”
