A Trump aide has taken responsibility for the controversy over Melania Trumps speech, saying she offered to resign but Trump rejected it.
In a statement released by the Trump campaign, in-house staff writer Meredith McIver said it was my mistake.
"In working with Melania Trump on her recent First Lady speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people. A person she has always liked is Michele Obama. Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obamas speech as examples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech. I did not check Mrs. Obamas speeches. This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant."
