Police in Washington D.C. are investigating several chilling death threat phone calls made to Michelle Fields, the former Breitbart News reporter who filed assault charges against Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Fields, who had to leave her apartment after Fox News and BuzzFeed revealed her home address and phone number, shared audio of a call with The Blaze. “I know where you live. You have got 36 hours to drop the charges,” a man states. “I’m dead serious.”
When Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump launched a crusade against Fox News and its star anchor, Megyn Kelly, last summer, many political insiders saw the move as the beginning of the end of Trump’s upstart campaign. Why would anyone seeking the Republican presidential nomination attack a network that reaches huge swaths of the Republican primary electorate? Author and journalist Gabriel Sherman explains how Trump came to possess ultra-insider information about Fox News and its founder, Roger Ailes, that could be damaging if it were ever to be made public. It’s this leverage, Sherman writes, that has so far discouraged Fox News from launching an all-out war on Trump.
From Sherman’s article:
An odd bit of coincidence had given him a card to play against Fox founder Roger Ailes. In 2014, I published a biography of Ailes, which upset the famously paranoid executive. Several months before it landed in stores, Ailes fired his longtime PR adviser Brian Lewis, accusing him of being a source. During Lewis’s severance negotiations, Lewis hired Judd Burstein, a powerhouse litigator, and claimed he had “bombs” that would destroy Ailes and Fox News. That’s when Trump got involved.
“When Roger was having problems, he didn’t call 97 people, he called me,” Trump said. Burstein, it turned out, had worked for Trump briefly in the ’90s, and Ailes asked Trump to mediate. Trump ran the negotiations out of his office at Trump Tower. “Roger had lawyers, very expensive lawyers, and they couldn’t do anything. I solved the problem.” Fox paid Lewis millions to go away quietly, and Trump, I’m told, learned everything Lewis had planned to leak. If Ailes ever truly went to war against Trump, Trump would have the arsenal to launch a retaliatory strike.
In a move that will cost the city hundreds of jobs, PayPal on Tuesday scrapped plans for a new Charlotte operations center in the most dramatic corporate response yet to a new North Carolina law that limits the legal protections of LGBT individuals. The payment processor’s decision led to renewed calls for Republican Gov. Pat McCrory and the state legislature to overturn a law that has drawn criticism from big companies such as Bank of America and American Airlines as well as sports organizations such as the NBA.
