"This was a hoax and we look forward to receiving a formal retraction and apology from all involved.”

The managing editor of the Serbian magazine told Newsweek that the interview was conducted by email through the Trump campaign's Indiana director, Suzie Jaworowski.

Jaworowski also issued a statement denying that the interview ever took place.

"Regarding the article about a media interview with a Serbian politician and Mr. Trump via my email, this is completely false," she said. "I have never served as a conduit to interview Mr. Trump for anyone."
