the three sentences are about an encounter between melania trump and natasha stoynoff several months after the assault. here are the sentences that melania trump's lawyer is disputing in the "people" magazine article. "that winter i bumped into melania on fifth avenue in front of trump tower as she walked into the building carrying baby b barron." "natasha, why don't you ask anymore, giving me a hug." "i was quiet telling her i missed her and i squeezed little barron's foot." the lawyer's letter says mrs. trump did not encounter ms. stoynoff on the street nor have any conversation with her. the two are not friends and were never friends or even friendly. the lawyer's letter does not explain why natasha stoynoff was invited to and attended, did attend melania trump's wedding if they were never friendly. i tweeted a reply question to melania trump's tweeting a that since she is only disputing her encounter with natasha stoynoff several months after the assault does that mean melania trump thinks everything else in the "people" magazine article is true. i am patiently awaiting her reply

joining us now, paul mcglothlin, of natasha stoynoff. and a correspondent for mtv news. could you tell us about that phone call? >> well, it wasn't unusual for natasha to call me for advice, but that particular call was obviously something i would never have anticipated. she was very distraught. upset on many different levels. frightened. she was angry, and she was confused about what to do about what had occurred. >> and what did you tell her to do? what was your advice? >> well, you know, a prof tries to help a person get to their own decision. so we talked about all the different scenarios, and i did not think it warranted going to the police, if it had been much more serious, obviously that would have been the only course of action. then we talked about her confronting him or of her, you know, making it a big matter at "people" magazine, and i felt if she did do this, he was not the type of person who was going to say to his pregnant super model new wife, hey, when you were out of the room i hit on the reporter. so then i asked sort of the rhetorical question, what di

so there are two parts to natasha stoynoff's story. what happened with donald trump in the room. and the second story was that she ran into melania trump on fifth avenue and melania said, we don't see you anymore. so that specifically is what melania trump was asked about by anderson cooper. and here's what she had to say directly to that point. >> the story that came out in "people" magazine, the writer that she said that my husband took her to the room and started kissing her, she wrote in the same story about me that she saw me on fifth avenue and i said to her, natasha, how can -- we don't see you anymore? i was never friend with her. i would not recognize her. >> so now as part of the "people" magazine article, one of natasha's friends came out to say she was with her at the meeting and corroborated her story. there are five other friends and colleagues who say that they were there after the events happened or the alleged events happened and they were told at that time what happened from natasha stoynoff. she was upset about the alleged events and spoke out at the time, she

my first guest tonight is one of the six witnesses who now corroborate natasha stoynoff's story. he she is one of the women donald trump's current wife says is lying. she has already been caught in a public lie during this campaign. >> i believe my husband. i believe my husband. >> i'd invite mr. trump to stop whining and try to make his case to get votes. >> they even want to try to rig

interestingly, at the end of this natasha stoynoff says, "hey, maybe donald trump doesn't remember thisn fact, pretty bitingly she said "maybe he's assaulted so many women he doesn't remember." "people" magazine putting forth corroborating friends who natasha told her story to say no, this happened and they believe her. >> that's what she's saying, they're backing her up again. just reminding everyone we've heard from donald trump multiple times saying they're all lie, it's fiction. i believe even talking about natasha specifically, he said "look at her and look at her words." there's that. you also now -- let me read this statement. this is accompanied from ivanka trump, donald trump's daughter, she said -- this is reacting to the 2005 billy bush donald trump tape said his comments were "clearly inappropriate and offensive. my father's comments were clearly inappropriate and vensive, i'm glad he acknowledged this fact with an apology to my family and the american people." she goes on. "the greatest comfort i have that i know my father. most of the people who write about him don't, i do

. >> reporter: last night people magazine writer natasha stoynoff alleged in 2005 trump shut the door behind us. i turned around and within seconds he was pushing me against the wall and forcing his tongue down my throat. >> i asked a very simple question. why doesn't it part ago? why wasn't it a part of the story? >> how are you? >> i'm ju ju. are you open? >> yes. okay, great. >> reporter: natasha stoynoff is not speaking publicly, but ju juju chang spoke with her editor to find out way. >> reporter: there's been a lot of emotion on the campaign trail. we're trying to get a sense of what their reporter said happened happened. one of the things she's said in the body of her piece is not only does she feel violated again, but she feels muzzled again. >> when she saw donald trump denied having groped or kissed women against their will, he was saying that was just talk. >> you're saying you never did that? >> i have not. >> that was the thing that pushed her over the edge and made her feel she needed to come forward. >> reporter: what made people >> she's one of our most trusted colleag

others say that natasha stoynoff told them about trump's alleged attack soon after it happened and her said that stoynoff called him in tears the night of the incident. >> joining me more were howie kurtz. good to see you. >> hi, megyn. >> this is an extraordinary response from people magazine. it's not just that we trust or writer. it's here are six people who she told the night of the alleged attack, the day after the alleged attack, an independent witness who says she was with her for the melania trump exchange. if this is a conspiracy, it's really well organized by people. >> i don't think the election is going to turn on this. and most of these allegations involve two people in the room. the detailed accounts from these six people a decade ago when there was no intention to go public and natasha stoynoff decided not to go public, adds credibility to her account. but one of the reasons it's stul many the news is donald trump has attacked all of the female accusers as liars and attacked the media for carrying their accounts and helping to rig the election in his words. >> and he doe
