The New York Times cover story on Donald Trump was full of lies, according to one of the women featured. Click through for the biggest whoppers!
The New York Times article opened with a recounting of a night model Rowanne Brewer Lane partied with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate, an encounter the writer of the piece called "debasing." But not long after the article was published, Brewer Lane came forward to smash the paper's retelling.
"They spun it to where it appeared negative," she told Fox & Friends. "I did not have a negative experience with Donald Trump. He never made me feel like I was being demeaned in any way."
Worse, she said "The New York Times told us several times that they would make sure that my story that I was telling … that it would not be a hit piece … That my story would come across the way that I was telling it … and it absolutely was not."
The Times said that many women reported "unwanted romantic advances" from Trump, but Brewer Lane called him a "gentleman," and would go on to date him after that meeting.
Tuesday morning on CNN, Trump Organization general counsel Michael Cohen said, "I don't think that this is going to end up in litigation. But the truth is that The New York Times owes both Ms. Brewer and they owe Donald Trump an apology."
