Telegraph to Pay Melania Trump ‘Substantial’ Damages for Article

From Bloomberg, by Ms Kelly Gilblom, 26 January 2019.

I got there via Hot Air, which had this excerpt:

In an explanation titled “Melania Trump — An Apology,” the newspaper wrote that the first lady’s father was not “a fearsome presence and did not control the family.”  It also said she didn’t leave her studies in design and architecture at university due to an exam, but because she wanted to pursue a career as a model.  It also said it inaccurately stated she was “struggling” as a model when she met Donald Trump, now the president.

It corrected the timing of when she met Trump, and when her family arrived in the U.S.  The apology also said the story erroneously reported she cried the night her husband was elected president.

It should be noted that libel law in the United Kingdom is a little tighter on Press than it is in the US.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
