Melania Trump gets damages from UK's Daily Mail in libel suit

The UK's Daily Mail newspaper has agreed to pay damages and costs to First Lady Melania Trump regarding an article about her modelling career.
   
The newspaper had reported allegations that Mrs Trump once worked as an escort, but later retracted its article. The story was published during the US election campaign last year.         

Mrs Trump accepted damages and an apology from the newspaper at London's High Court.
   
She filed lawsuits against the Daily Mail newspaper in the United Kingdom, and its digital operation Mail Online in the United States.
  
The US suit, filed last year, sought damages of US$150 million.
   
The amount accepted by Mrs Trump in London was not disclosed in court.
