First Lady Melania Trump won a payout and apology from The UK's Daily Mail that made allegations that Melania Trump once worked as an escort, but later retracted its article. Melania’s attorneys argued that the report damaged her ability to build businesses based on her status as a well-known figure and “successful businesswoman.” The First Lady is understood to have won a payout close to $3 million, according to sources. "We accept that these allegations about Mrs Trump are not true," the newspaper said.
