Reporter had affair with presidential candidate | World

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced late last month that he would suspend his campaign and instead endorse Donald Trump in the fall U.S. election.

New York Magazine has now revealed the fact that it forced its Washington, D.C., correspondent Olivia Nuzzi to take a leave of absence. The reason was that she was having a romantic relationship with Kennedy.

“Our Washington correspondent, Olivia Nuzzi, recently admitted to the magazine’s editors that she had a personal relationship with an election-related person while covering the campaign. It violates the magazine’s rules on conflicts of interest and transparency. Had the magazine known about the relationship, it would not have allowed her to continue covering the presidential campaign.“,” New York magazine writes.

An internal investigation was conducted into what Nuzzi wrote about the presidential campaign.

“We found no irregularities or evidence of bias.”The magazine apologized to readers for “this breach of their trust,” it wrote.

Communications are becoming “personal”

The relationship is said to have started around New Year's Eve after Nozzie wrote about Kennedy, who has been married to actress Cheryl Hines since 2014, last November.

“The communication between me and someone I wrote about before has become personal.”Nozi writes to condition.

She stated that the relationship “was never physical in nature” and that during it she “didn't write specifically about the person”.

“But I had to tell you about it to avoid what might appear to be a conflict of interest. I deeply regret my failure to do so immediately and apologize to anyone I may have disappointed, especially my colleagues in New York.”“Nozi writes,”
