Full of holes?

This is how the Trumps roll.

What makes Melania Trump’s beef with People so amazing is that the list she and Harder compiled of supposedly “fictionalized” material has nothing to do with Stoynoff’s assault claim. At all.

A demand letter sent to the magazine focuses entirely on a minor anecdote, near the end of the article, in which Stoynoff describes running into Melania Trump on a street in New York several months after the alleged assault.

Here is an excerpt from the letter:

We therefore demand that you immediately and permanently remove each of these statements from the story and print a prominent retraction and apology:

“That winter, I actually bumped into Melania on Fifth Avenue, in front of Trump Tower as she walked into the building, carrying baby Barron.”

“‘Natasha, why don’t we see you anymore?’ she asked, giving me a hug.”

“I was quiet and smiled, telling her I’d missed her, and I squeezed little Barron’s foot.”

The true facts are these: 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. At the time in question, Mrs. Trump would not have even recognized Ms. Stoynoff if they had encountered one another on the street.

To review: Melania Trump is not disputing Stoynoff’s claim that Donald Trump assaulted her. Melania Trump is disputing Stoynoff's claim that the two women had a chance encounter on a city street several months later.
