He also issued an apology to Melania and said he wanted to take back what he had said."In last week's podcast episode, we spoke with Judd Legum. After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump's lawyer ... We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode. I also take back these statements and apologize," Cavill stated.The original video, which was promptly deleted, was titled The Epstein connection: Trump & Melania.
