the lead anecdote involved a woman named roanne lane brewer who pushed back hard when she was portrayed as having a negative interaction with donald trump. here she is on "fox and friends" followed by the reporters defending their piece. >> they told me several times and my manager several times that it would not be a hit piece and that my story would come across the way that i was telling it and honestly and it absolutely was not. >> i believe roanne has asked for an apology. i mean, what do you say? >> we really stand by our story. we believe we quoted her fairly and accurately and that the story really speaks for itself. >> is it damaging to "the new york times" that the woman, who by the way, went on to be trump's girlfriend for several months, came out and basically said they got it all wrong? >> it's obviously not helpful. that said, of course, she didn't dispute that the words that they quoted her as saying, she didn't dispute that the anecdote happened, she said this was a positive interaction rather than a negative one. "new york times" readers can decide whether trump's behavi

roanne lead married to the lead singer of warrant. >> that will come up. >> she's my cherry pie.the one hand, a series of stories with john miller that reinforces what most people think or know about donald trump. i don't know if there is a huge surprise in there. i'm not advocating what he did in the pieces but people think they know these things about him. it's sort of baked into the cake. on the other hand, if you look at the autopsy, which i did, which is a window into my social life of the 2012 presidential campaign, they said explicitly minorities and women, we have to win them or we have no chance. we cannot repeat romney. we can't do worse. we have to do better. that story for an independent voter, "the new york times" story, if that influences a hand full of women, they can't afford to not lose but have to gain. >> that story had lots of accusations in it. this one woman has come forward and said her account was treated in a misleading way but there are other accusations in it that would need to be taken seriously involving particularly the workplace. the clinton campaig

he was referring to roanne brewer lane who once dated trump and was quoted by the "times." >> they did. they put a negative connotation, spun it to where it appeared negative. ive did not have a negative experience with donald trump. i don't appreciate them making it look like that i was saying it was a negative experience. >> "new york times" reporter michael barbaro and megan tewhey rote the article. i want to get your response to what she said. she seems to be walking back her comments that she made or didn't make to you. >> i interviewed roanne brewer lane. i'm going to let her speak for herself. i think readers of the story can digest what happened to her in 1990. the story was that she had just met donald trump. they were at an evening pool party, and he asked her after taking him on a tour of f she had brought a bathing suit. when she said she had not, he opened a drawer of suits -- the story is involved. ultimately said, he asked her to put on one of the bathing suits. she did, and then he brought her out back to the pool and crowd. and essentially asked the crowd, you know, di

and for the women to come out, roanne as an example to come out -- it was so nice. i did not speak to her when she did this. i spoke to her more recently and i thanked her. because it took kurge courage t. to come out and say, you really, really mistreated us by writing the story the way you wrote it and we have great respect for donald trump and like donald trump very much. the "new york times" was totally discredited. and honestly, they should be ashamed of themselves. so it's been a great event for me. i hated reading the story even though it was not major allegations of very much stuff. one of them accused me of saying don't eat that candy. they made it like it was such a big violation. don't eat that candy. so i appreciate -- i sent it to you and i appreciated the story that you wrote about it. because the "new york times" has been totally discredited. they are very embarrassed by that story. so ladies and gentlemen,ty very much. >> what role would congressman -- >> just a talented person. and he's been there for a long time right? -- pretty much right from the

of the people quoted had a section of the book extracted and put in there, never spoken to them, roanne spoke to them for two hours, not taken in context and had to be on television yesterday and the newspapers today saying "the new york times" is wrong. "the new york times" should apologize. they're absolutely wrong. it was a factually inaccurate story, they're dishonest about it, luckily the newspaper's failing and it's a shame when they reported it that way. that's the problem with the mainstream press the article, though, which he obviously as we said has taken issue with last night trump organization, attorneys suggested a lawsuit was in her words distinct possibility. today another of trump's attorney walked that back. can you clarify whether donald trump feels he has a case against "the new york times"? he tweeted the article is libellous. >> they were factually inaccurate, did not do due diligence, they said they tried to contact people at last hour. they were working on the story for four weeks, had the opportunity to get it right, they did not get it right because they wanted

weekend, two full pains, about donald trump's relationships and conduct toward women, the woman named roanne, and someone pushed back hard when portrayed as having a negative interaction with donald trump and she is on "fox & friends" followed by defending the piece. >> they said to me several times and my manager it would not be a hit piece and that my story would come across the way that i was telling it and honestly. and it absolutely was not. >> and she has asked for an apology. what do you say? >> we stand by our story. we believe we quoted her fairly and accurately. and the story speaks for itself. >> is this damaging to the "new york times" the woman, who, by the way, went on to be donald trump's girlfriend for several months say they got it wrong? >> it is not helpful. she did not disspew the we ares they quoted her she did not dispute that it happened but she said it was a positive interaction rather than negative. the reality is, "new york times" readers can decide for themselves in the behavior was okay there is a difference between welcomed behavior and behavior we find appealing

i did not know roanne would come out and say great after reading negative stuff. then i saw this one. i say i gave her a job no other woman would be given. i was 25 years ahead of my time with women. to this day, i have women making more money for the same job as my men. and i'm happy about it. and i expect a lawsuit any day from the men. they will sue me because they are not making it, because we are living in that kind of society. my men will be suing me on monday morning because they are not making as much. i don't care because we are doing great with women. i don't believe the polls. we are doing great with women. women for trump, thank you. wow. thank you very much. i think we are doing great. by the way, the numbers with women are going up. women want to see strong borders. they want to see a strong military. they want to see strength. they want to see strength. and i will tell you what, they want to see jobs. they want an economy that will boom. everybody admits that what i will do for the economy nobody else can do. so here is the end result.

our story is not just roanne's point.th a new format. >> what did you find about how he treats women? >> i think there was some theme that's emerged. some of the accounts with regards to unwelcome romantic advances. unending commentary on the female form. a shrewd exploitation of ambitious women, and allegations of physical aggression. >>> and there is another part. he is a paradoxical figure. he promoted and nurtured the careers of many women, putting many in positions and heights in the construction business in new york that never happened. what is fascinating is that a single character can contradict everything. the woman put in charge of constructing trump tower. several years later she is in the office, and she observes behavior that she finds inappropriate. he said you like your candy, and commented on her weight. in her words, he didn't find her pretty enough to be the presenter of lunch orders that day. there is not a single dimension to the story. >> a big question is what is his attitude about women him. >> shou

but i this this interview with roann brewer lane points to the problem with the tory. there is a lot of behavior listed in the story that one might characterize as borderline. one woman might say that's an inappropriate and another woman would say i don't see anything wrong with that. the one that begins the story say he she did not take offense to any of this, i think it does a lot of damage. we have seen donald trump tweeting out comment on that interview saying it shows the norm times lied. bill: he said the "new york times" is so dishonest. rose anne brewer said it was a lie. this back and forth now, and you wonder what sticks and what doesn't. what matters and what doesn't. >> i think the one thing we can say is there will be a lot more of it. you will have the fir woman to head a presidential ticket in history who has cite sighted donald trump for his statement and attitude toward women. then you see donald trumpn a combative move attacking hillary clinton for enabling her husband who had well publicized problems with women in the white house. and after the white
