00:00Lip readers assess video of Trump and Melania.

00:04A brief but intense exchange between President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump,

00:09caught on camera through the window of Marine One, set off a wave of speculation this week.

00:14But now, experts say the truth may be far different.

00:18And much deeper.

00:20According to two professional lip readers, what many took as a heated domestic dispute

00:24was actually a tense conversation about an escalator failure at the United Nations headquarters in New York just a day before.

00:31On Tuesday, as President Trump and the First Lady arrived at the UN General Assembly,

00:36they stepped onto an escalator that suddenly stopped working.

00:40Both Trumps held onto the railing and regained balance quickly.

00:43But the moment was alarming.

00:45And, according to Trump, it is dangerous.

00:48Amazingly, Melania and I didn't fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps.

00:53He later posted,

00:55British forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman, who has worked on high-profile legal cases in the UK,

01:01reviewed the Marine One footage and told the Daily Mail he believes the couple was discussing the incident,

01:06not arguing with each other.

01:08That interpretation lines up with a second reading from another British expert, Nicola Hickling,

01:13who also examined the video.

01:15She told reporters she saw Trump saying,

01:17I can't forgive them.

01:18They tried to hurt you.

01:19And Melania replying,

01:21We can't do this.

01:22We should stay safe.

01:23You're not safe.

01:25The President had already suggested foul play was behind the malfunction.

01:29Citing a Times of London report,

01:30he claimed UN staffers had been overheard joking about cutting power to the escalator before his arrival,

01:36suggesting it was absolutely sabotage.

01:39The footage shows the US President wagging his finger at the First Lady,

01:42while she shakes her head in response.

01:45No official investigation has been announced,

01:47but Trump has publicly called for accountability.

01:49What looked like a short clip of a marital spat may have actually been a window into something bigger.

01:55A behind-the-scenes security scare at one of the most high-profile diplomatic events in the world.
