Content: Critics have accused the Trump campaign of deleting the site in order to hide her biography. An image posted to Melania’s Twitter account earlier today states: “ The website in question was created in 2012 and it has been removed because it does not accurately reflect my current business and professional interests.” pic.twitter.com/pDAe8w08ym

The tweet was an unusual one for Mrs Trump, who rarely posts to that account and usually only with photos. The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment. Copies of Melania Trump’s biography page containing the controversial claim were still visible on the Internet Archive at the time of writing. However, there are also inexplicable gaps in the archive’s record. After 14 March 2013, for example, the MelaniaTrump.com home page is no longer visible. Mark Graham, director of the Archive’s Wayback Machine, said “there are various technical factors … that can affect the quality of both the capture and replay of web pages.” He added no one from the Trump campaign contacted the archive to request the pages be removed.
