Trump aide offers resignation in Melania Trump plagiarism incident.

(CNN)A Trump organization staffer identified herself as the person responsible for plagiarism in Melania's Trump convention speech and offered her resignation Wednesday. 

Meredith McIver apologized in a statement sent out by the campaign and said the Trumps did not accept her resignation. 

McIver explained that she included the passages from Obama's speech after listening to Melania Trump read passages from the 2008 speech over the phone.

"Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama's 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. 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."

This person is also known as a scapegoat.

yeah, when reading the quote at first i thought it was trump writing, and i was gonna say this is actually nice of him to apologize for once. but then when i got the end of the quote i realized it wasn't him or her writing it, but rather a pathetic excuse for an apology from someone who i don't care to hear an apology from.

The story has changed...hasn't it? I guess this is the best they could come up with after two days of lies and evasion. So...they threw Melania under the bus? Classy.
