She gets close to her subjects and produces in-depth profiles and coverage that strike at the heart of them.
Now all that work is under a microscope.
We are 45 days away from the election.
I am sorry this brings a cloud of distraction over us.
The results of the review will “influence our final disciplinary decision.”
Nuzzi confirmed this in a statement she gave to Status.
Earlier this year, the nature of some communication between myself and a former reporting subject turned personal.
The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict.
RFK Jr., who is married to actress Cheryl Hines, has not publicly commented on the affair.
Kennedy was running for president when he met Nuzzi, but has since suspended his campaign andendorsed Trump.
