What's Happening?
The Daily Beast has retracted an article that alleged a connection between Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, following a challenge from Melania Trump's attorneys. The article, based on claims by author Michael Wolff, suggested that Melania was introduced to President Trump through a modeling agent associated with Epstein. After receiving a letter from Melania's legal team, the publication removed the article and issued an apology for any confusion caused. Wolff's reporting has been criticized in the past for inaccuracies, and Melania's memoir contradicts the claims, stating she met Trump at a Fashion Week party in 1998.
