00:05Olivia Nuzzi's ex-fiance, Ryan Lizza, alleged in a new Substack post

00:11that she acted as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s political fixer during their S. scandal,

00:17claiming she used her sources to supply him with information while covering Washington.

00:21Lizza claims Nuzzi secretly acted as a political operative for RFK Jr.,

00:26helping him seek Secret Service protection, advising him on debate prep and media strategy,

00:31and presenting herself publicly as an impartial reporter.

00:35He argues the scandal is less about S and more about serious breaches of journalistic ethics.

00:41Lizza says Nuzzi aggressively worked her sources to uncover why RFK Jr. was denied Secret Service

00:47protection and then publicly pressured DHS after the 2024 Trump assassination attempt.

00:57partly out of concern for his safety, but also to give his campaign a more presidential image.
