- Ryan Lizza’s latest Substack installment alleges Olivia Nuzzi was “elated” when the affair story broke, coordinated statements with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and assembled a crisis team with Matt Dornic and agent Rachel Adler.
- Lizza further claims Tucker Carlson told Nuzzi to fear for her life and offered to send a shotgun, and that Kennedy security adviser Gavin de Becker checked in to ensure her loyalty.
- Nuzzi disputes Lizza’s narrative, calling it a harassment campaign and, in a new interview, casting him as an obsessed observer trying to control her.
- American Canto sold about 1,165 hardcover copies in its first week, according to Circana BookScan, following harsh reviews.
- Kennedy denies a physical relationship and drug-use allegations and continues serving as HHS secretary without formal consequences tied to the disclosures.
