Melania Trump's speech writer admits responsibility for speech "plagiarism"

The writer who helped with Donald Trump's wife's speech at the Republican Party's National Convention says she made a mistake - and has offered to resign.

Melania Trump's speech writer has admitted making a "mistake" in including comments from a previous address made by Michelle Obama.

Meredith McIver, a Trump Organisation staff writer, said she made an error in including passages from Mrs Obama's 2008 speech to the Democratic National Convention in Mrs Trump's address to the Republican gathering earlier this week.
