In her explosive new book ‘Catch And Kill’ Ronan Farrow has outlined a newly unearthed connection between notorious Hollywood sex predator Harvey Weinstein and disgraced former ‘Today Show’ host Matt Lauer. As The Hollywood Reporter reports:
In his first interview about the explosive ‘Catch and Kill,’ the journalist reveals fresh claims of secret payouts and how Lauer may have played a role in the network’s decision to kill his 2017 Harvey Weinstein exposé: “I’m very clear about the fact that Harvey was laying siege to NBC.”
It was September 2017, and Harvey Weinstein was huddled at a corner table at New York’s Loews Regency hotel alongside Dylan Howard, chief content officer of National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc. Weinstein had become increasingly alarmed about a story that Ronan Farrow — then a correspondent for NBC News and most famous for being the son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen — was vigorously pursuing about the powerful producer’s long-rumored sexual predations. Weinstein had worked to suppress variations of that story for decades, and he was desperate for it to stay secret. But Farrow (along with a team at The New York Times) was closing in. Weinstein wanted to bully NBC News into killing the story. He needed leverage…
“Weinstein made it known to the network that he was aware of Lauer’s behavior and capable of revealing it,” Farrow writes in his long-awaited new book, Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators (Little, Brown and Company, Oct. 15). Citing anonymous sources at NBC and AMI, Farrow, 31, claims that Weinstein was using the Enquirer’s accumulated dirt on the Today show star’s alleged workplace misconduct to pressure NBC executives to kill Farrow’s long-gestating Weinstein exposé…
It is mind boggling what happened here
FACT: NBC killed a story investigating serial rapist Harvey Weinstein because Weinstein threatened to expose NBC’s rapist, Matt Lauer. My God.
NBC executives at the time like Jeff Zucker need to speak on the record about what they did.

Weinstein also attempted to leverage his long-term relationship with Hillary Clinton to pressure Farrow, he writes. In summer 2017, while Farrow was trying to lock down an interview with Clinton for his foreign policy book — while also still working on the Weinstein story — he received a call from Clinton’s publicist, Nick Merrill, who told him that the “big story” Farrow was working on was a “concern for us.” Then, in September 2017, according to an email cited in the book, Weinstein wrote to Deborah Turness, the ex-president of NBC News who now runs NBC News International, to propose a docuseries on Clinton. “Your Hillary doc series sounds absolutely stunning,” Turness responded.
FEMINIST HERO Hillary Clinton pressured Ronan Farrow to drop Weinstein story:
“Clinton’s publicist, Nick Merrill …told him that the big story’ Farrow was working on was a ‘concern for us.'”https://t.co/qIlbRDjG1p

The new revealtions are absolutely explosive and go to show just how deeply intertwined Hollywood predators like Weinstein, the Clintons and members of the liberal media really are. Their corruption seems to just be bottomless.
