The accusations stem from a report by The Huffington Post that alleged Trump lied about receiving a degree in design and architecture at the University in Slovenia. According to two biographers, Trump dropped out after her freshman year.

“Born on April 26, 1970 in Slovenia, Melania Knauss began her modeling career at the age of sixteen. At the age of eighteen, she signed with a modeling agency in Milan. After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally settling in New York in 1996,” read her website.

Last week, Trump came under fire after many pointed out distinct similarities between her Republican National Convention speech and a speech first lady Michelle Obama delivered in 2008.

Meredith McIver, an in-house staff writer for Donald Trump, later took responsibility for passages that were lifted from Obama.

“I did not check Mrs. Obama’s 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,” McIver said in a statement issued by the Trump Campaign.
