From the Daily Mail: First Lady Melania Trump triggered another public apology from the media on Thursday, after a Democratic operative launched a false claim.
Democratic strategist James Carville was forced to apologize for accusing her of being introduced to Donald Trump by convicted financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The Politics War Room podcast hosted by Carville and journalist Al Hunt revealed in a public message that during an episode with leftist journalist Judd Legum about Epstein, comments made about the first lady were incorrect.
‘We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode,’ the message read, noting that they received a letter from the First Lady’s lawyer.
Carville’s podcast had posted the segment on YouTube and titled it, “The Epstein Connection between Trump and Melania.” After hearing from the First Lady’s lawyer, they quickly yanked the video down.
“I also take back these statements and apologize,” Carville wrote in his apology.
Melania then posted Carville’s full apology statement on X:

Just last week, the Daily Beast made the same false claim that Melania was introduced to Trump through Epstein, and also had to take down an article and issue an apology.
Hunter Biden also falsely claimed in an interview that “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump.”
Ironically, last month on X, the First Lady had just posted two pages from her book which revealed in detail how she met then-New York businessman Donald Trump in September 1998… and it had nothing to do with Epstein.
