Alé de Basse­ville, the photographer whose July comments led to questions over whether Melania Trump lied about her immigration history, is now backing up the timeline the GOP nominee’s wife has offered regarding when she started working in the United States. But de Basse­ville told the New York Post on Wednesday that he misspoke. De Basseville’s clarification gives some credibility to Melania’s claims that her immigration record has been misreported. The issue over her early immigration status first erupted in August, when Politico reported the discrepancies between her story and other published reports. Wildes writes that Melania “never worked in the United States in 1995 because she was was never in the United States in 1995” (emphasis his).
