"We have, in consultation with the author, removed several passages of the book that referenced unverified claims about the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, HarperCollins UK said in the statement. Copies of the book that included those references are being permanently removed from distribution. HarperCollins UK apologizes to the First Lady. The passages appeared in Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, an unauthorized biography of Prince Andrew, an Epstein associate."
"Though the book did not allege any wrongdoing by Melania Trump, it claimed Epstein facilitated her introduction to her husband. Melania's representatives repeatedly dismissed the claim as malicious and defamatory. The true account of how the first lady met President Trump is in her bestselling book, Melania, a spokesperson said, adding that the couple met at a New York party in 1998 through another guest. The retraction follows earlier apologies from The Daily Beast and veteran Democratic strategist James Carville for voicing similar claims."
