The Daily Mail has retracted a story suggesting that Donald Trump’s wife Melania Trump might have been an escort, on the same day that Trump filed a lawsuit against the news organization.

In a retraction published Thursday, the Mail stated, “To the extent that anything in the Daily Mail’s article was interpreted as stating or suggesting that Mrs. Trump worked as an ‘escort’ or in the ‘sex business,’ that she had a ‘composite or presentation card for the sex business,’ or that either of the modeling agencies referenced in the article were engaged in these businesses, it is hereby retracted, and the Daily Mail newspaper regrets any such misinterpretation.”
