Journalist Ryan Lizza suggests he has split with his ‘ex-fiancée’ Olivia Nuzzi in his first statement on claims she had an affair with former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Lizza is a co-author of Politico’s Playbook and the newsletter didn’t immediately address the scandal until its Friday afternoon edition.
However it the ‘mediawatch’ section, Playbook noted how Status news’ Oliver Darcy broke the news that Nuzzi had been placed on leave after engaging in an ‘inappropriate relationship’ with RFK Jr.
‘Because of my connection to this story through my ex-fiancée, my editors and I have agreed that I won’t be involved in any coverage of Kennedy in Playbook or elsewhere at POLITICO,’ Lizza wrote.
