she interview us twice and she came to the wedding and for that story. that is it. i would not recognize her on the street or ask her why we don't see her anymore. >> among the six people now corroborating the "people" writer story, her friend who says she was there when that encounter with melania trump happened. also the writer's former journalism professor who said she called him in tears after trump attacked her. joining me now. "people" magazine executive editor. were you surprised by donald -- melania trump's response at all yesterday. you are obviously standing by your reporters story. do you believe she doesn't remember this encounter on the street or is it possible the encounter never happened? >> i'm certainly willing to concede that simply melania doesn't remember. an incident that should be innocuous to her. she wouldn't necessarily recall it in vivid detail. she had no knowledge of what had occurred in the months prior to that incident on the street.
