  • Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows and others present during the alleged conversation have denied the claims, calling the report false.
  • Vanessa Guillén's sister, Mayra Guillén, expressed her disappointment with The Atlantic's article, defending Trump and stating he showed respect to her family.
  • The family attorney, Natalie Khawam, also criticized the report, claiming she was misled about its focus and asserting that the story was inaccurate.
  • Critics of The Atlantic's reporting have questioned the timing of the article, suggesting it is politically motivated with the upcoming election.
