Ex-Fox News Journalist Diana Falzone Reportedly Hands Over Docs to Congress Related to Spiked Stormy Daniels Story
Ex-Fox News reporter Diana Falzone has handed over documents to Congressional investigators, according to an MSNBC report.
“We have an exclusive update to the story we’ve been reporting on,” Ari Melber reported on Wednesday night. “The former Fox reporter who claims that the network spiked her big story on Stormy Daniels, helping Trump basically avoid a bad story during the 2016 election. Well, that reporter has begun cooperating directly with congressional investigators.”
“Sources are telling us that former Fox reporter Diana Falzone has now turned over at least some documents that have been requested by the Democrat chair of Oversight Committee,” he continued on. “She’ll talk to them about what happened.”
Melber then repeated, as he had in past reporting on the story: “Fox News has denied her claims on the record.” Ken LaCorte — then the head of editorial at Fox News — penned a column, published by Mediaite, in which he claimed the story was killed because it was journalistically unsound.
Falzone has sued Fox News and as part of that settlement signed a non-disclosure agreement stating that she would not talk about her work at Fox.
Just last week, Falzone called for the NDA to be lifted, as it “pertains to the topic of her reporting in October of 2016 regarding Donald Trump paying hush money to Stormy Daniels,” according to court documents.
The New Yorker‘s Jane Mayer also published a report in recent weeks reporting Falzone had confirmed that Trump had arranged hush money payments prior to the 2016 election.
