McIver, though, claimed it was an accident and that Melania was simply inspired by Michelle Obama, "a person she has always liked."
In the statement, McIver, an author and ghostwriter for Donald Trump, detailed how Melania read the First Lady's speech over the phone to her while she took notes. She admitted including these notes in the final speech, without checking it against Obama's Democratic convention speech from 2008.
"This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as Mrs. 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 Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant," she wrote.
The news of McIver's involvement in the saga was first noted by the New York Times, which also reported a speech was prepared originally by two professional speechwriters but disregarded by Melania. The speechwriters were reportedly not aware of the changes until they heard it with the rest of the world on Monday night.
According to the Times, Melania called on McIver to help her with the final version. Since the news of the plagiarism scandal broke, the Trump camp has denied and dismissed the allegations.
McIver said in the statement she offered her resignation, but it was rejected by the Trump family. "Mr Trump told me that people make innocent mistakes, and that we learn and grow from these experiences," she wrote.
She also praised the billionaire and Republican nominee for president for his handling of the issue and said she was honored to work for him.
It came just moments after Trump finally took to his favorite social media platform, Twitter, to throw some shade at the news media and make light of the situation involving his wife.
The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech than the FBI spent on Hillary's emails.
