UK newspaper retracts Melania Trump escort agency story
It ended by stating that the editors regret any such misinterpretations' about the story published on Aug. 20.
London: The Daily Mail newspaper has retracted a story about Melania Trump after her lawyers filed a lawsuit in the United States accusing the newspaper and a Maryland blogger of publishing false statements about her alleged involvement with an escort agency.
The retraction published on Friday said the newspaper and its popular website "did not intend to state or suggest that these allegations" about the wife of the Republican presidential nominee were true.
"The point of the article was that these allegations could impact the US presidential election even if they are untrue," the retraction said.
It ended by stating that the editors "regret any such misinterpretations" about the story published on Aug. 20.
Trump filed suit against the Daily Mail Online and a Maryland website Thursday in a Maryland state court.
