First lady Melania Trump shot down a viral rumor Tuesday that her son Barron had applied to Harvard University and been rejected, with a spokesman calling the assertion “completely false.”

“Barron did not apply to Harvard, and any assertion that he, or that anyone on his behalf, applied is completely false,” said Nicholas Clemens, the first lady’s communications director.

The 19-year-old’s admissions status had been the subject of furious speculation on social media amid his father’s repeated verbal attacks — and cancelation of grants and other federal funds — to the Ivy League institution.

President Trump on Tuesday pulled another $100 million from Harvard, adding to roughly $3 billion in grant and contract terminations since taking office.

The funding termination — as well as moves to boot foreign students from the Cambridge, Mass. campus — have drawn multiple legal challenges.
