But Scarborough says he has proof of White House threats earlier this year -- he replied to Trump and said "I have texts from your top aides and phone records." And an NBC News spokesman told CNN that Scarborough kept several executives apprised of the alleged threats "contemporaneously." This may bolster Scarborough's stunning claim. Scarborough and Brzezinski are essentially alleging a form of blackmail. The accusation came during a wider discussion about the president's offensive tweets targeting the co-hosts. But a White House official suggested to CNN that nothing untoward had occurred. The official told CNN that Scarborough called Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, about the Enquirer story before it was published. Kushner, the official said, told Scarborough to call the president. The official denied there was ever any offer from Kushner of a quid pro quo -- in other words softer coverage in exchange for spiking the Enquirer story. The White House has yet to comment publicly. Critics suggested that if Scarborough and Brzezinski's version of events is accurate, it should be investigated. "The president's tacit admission of control over the Enquirer's punishing coverage of his adversaries suggests an abuse of power -- a shocking one," said Norm Eisen, a former White House ethics czar. Eisen is currently involved in a lawsuit against Trump.

This story is stupid and fake on so many levels...you just can't make this stuff up. CNN: Hold my beer
Yeah, I’m sure Trump was so interested is Joe and Mika’s business that he had to get involved, lol.

The old unnamed White Houae official told CNN!
Sure and I have 3 bridges in the San Francisco area, which I own and will sell to the highest bidders.
CNN is already swirling the drain and they’re seriously trying to make this big news? If those idiots are banking on the veracity of Morning Schmoe and Z(M)ika Virus it reeks of their total desperation to get the president.
They “had proof” earlier this year and sat on it when everybody and their brother are digging for dirt on Trump. Bull!

He Tweets about them! It appears he is overly occupied with them.
“...top aides...”
Like:
John McCain and his GF
McMuffin
Romney
Furthermore, they don’t allow comments on this “news” page. They know full well that they’d get torn apart if they opened it up to opinion on this piece of fluff and imagination.
Envious ball-less Joey, acting so serious and offended LMAO.
I repeat: Joey’s net worth = $18 million, DJT net worth = $3.5 billion.
DJT is POTUS, the most powerful man on earth. Joey is a mediocre nothing ex-Congressman on a third-rate fake news TV show.
DJT gets to sleep with the gorgeous Melania, Joey gets a two/time marriage loser skank with an eating disorder and a face that plastic surgery can’t fix. “Mika” means bag, how appropriate for this triple bagger.
This explains all you need to know about Joey.
18$M-—that could disappear quick in a lawsuit.
I hope Donald releases video of hours and hours of their smears. They have been pulling this crap for nearly a year.
It must be a joke name, like Sillius Soddus or Biggus Diccus.
Grow up, Joe. You’re acting like a 10 year old in a playground argument.
................................................... "I was Joe's intern, and like Foster, nobody cared."
CNN, that is all you need to know.
Has CNN ever refused to publish a story that was anti-Trump?
Is there a name for journalism worse than yellow journalism?
How about RED journalism?
Three tweets, three minutes. Not overly occupied.
That old unnamed White Houae official said that if Mika gets one more facelift, she’ll have a Brazilian wax beard.
Somebody needs to investigate creepy Joe.
The NE is as good as any to start the investigation.
