The Daily Mail and Mail Online will pay damages to settle a libel claim brought against them by the US first lady, Melania Trump, over false claims about her work as a professional model.
An agreed statement was read out to Mr Justice Nicol in court 14 of the Royal Courts of Justice on behalf of both parties. Trump will be paid damages, but the amount was not disclosed.
The statement said the article published in a double page spread and online last summer included “false and defamatory claims about [Mrs Trump] which questioned the nature of her work as a professional model and republished allegations that she provided services beyond simply modelling”.

Ho hum….. I guess if a paper is anti Trump then any fine payment helps the cause of Trump bashing pity does not disclose the cost of this fake news.
they only get what they deserve there are a lot more people that should do the same against these people as they don’t seem to think twice about doing thing like that and have destroyed many good peoples reputations .
The Daily Mail never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Not content with one libel case, it looks as if another is just around the corner.
