Emily Compagno: Weinstein Could Be Prosecuted for Rape of Rose McGowan in Utah

RUSH TRANSCRIPT Tucker There ░░░░░░░░ still a lot of ░░░░░░░░ questions in the Harvey ░░░░░░░░ scandal but only a ░░░░░░░░ involved Weinstein himself Instead ░░░░░░░░ biggest question now is ░░░░░░░░ so many people including ░░░░░░░░ ones journalists actors producers ░░░░░░░░ about Weinstein s behavior ░░░░░░░░ didn t reveal it ░░░░░░░░ years Sharon Waxman is ░░░░░░░░ founder of but before ░░░░░░░░ she was at The ░░░░░░░░ York Times as a ░░░░░░░░ and she was ready ░░░░░░░░ expose Weinstein s deeds ░░░░░░░░ years ago and an ░░░░░░░░ scuttled her story Now ░░░░░░░░ says that story was ░░░░░░░░ after Weinstein himself came ░░░░░░░░ The New York Times ░░░░░░░░ to argue against it ░░░░░░░░ Waxman joins us tonight ░░░░░░░░ the second time Sharon ░░░░░░░░ for coming back I ░░░░░░░░ glad you came because ░░░░░░░░ think this is one ░░░░░░░░ the most interesting stories ░░░░░░░░ that The New York ░░░░░░░░ and the end reveal ░░░░░░░░ They are not solely ░░░░░░░░ fault But it is ░░░░░░░░ window into how the ░░░░░░░░ didn t come out ░░░░░░░░ and you are at ░░░░░░░░ center of it What ░░░░░░░░ you know now that ░░░░░░░░ did know when last ░░░░░░░░ talked about why your ░░░░░░░░ didn t run Well ░░░░░░░░ had heard at the ░░░░░░░░ that Harvey had come ░░░░░░░░ the newsroom and I ░░░░░░░░ that in the post ░░░░░░░░ I originally wrote which ░░░░░░░░ called out the fact ░░░░░░░░ The New York Times ░░░░░░░░ to my mind it ░░░░░░░░ self congratulating and saying ░░░░░░░░ else in the media ░░░░░░░░ going to reveal us ░░░░░░░░ we did and that ░░░░░░░░ what propelled me to ░░░░░░░░ hey guys actually we ░░░░░░░░ try to get the ░░░░░░░░ in the paper three ░░░░░░░░ ago and what ended ░░░░░░░░ in print was way ░░░░░░░░ and didn t have ░░░░░░░░ and didn t make ░░░░░░░░ sense And what my ░░░░░░░░ was was that Harvey ░░░░░░░░ went to war to ░░░░░░░░ this not to appear ░░░░░░░░ The New York Times ░░░░░░░░ is of course what ░░░░░░░░ does and I had ░░░░░░░░ at the time which ░░░░░░░░ Damon called me which ░░░░░░░░ knew Russell Crowe called ░░░░░░░░ which I knew Then ░░░░░░░░ heard that he came ░░░░░░░░ newsroom in order to ░░░░░░░░ the editors not to ░░░░░░░░ the story or to ░░░░░░░░ the story I was ░░░░░░░░ The New York Times ░░░░░░░░ on the record and ░░░░░░░░ he spoke to the ░░░░░░░░ manager editor and said ░░░░░░░░ had no recollection of ░░░░░░░░ such meeting I thought ░░░░░░░░ I must have a ░░░░░░░░ bad memory Tucker Left ░░░░░░░░ In the meantime three ░░░░░░░░ people have come forward ░░░░░░░░ say no there was ░░░░░░░░ meeting and a colorful ░░░░░░░░ that Harvey Weinstein and ░░░░░░░░ boies his lawyer were ░░░░░░░░ in a town car ░░░░░░░░ trying to get a ░░░░░░░░ with bill Keller until ░░░░░░░░ got one and that ░░░░░░░░ came into the newsroom ░░░░░░░░ that it was the ░░░░░░░░ of the building and ░░░░░░░░ don t know the ░░░░░░░░ was but obviously they ░░░░░░░░ not exchanging recipes So ░░░░░░░░ let me be clear ░░░░░░░░ doesn t mean that ░░░░░░░░ swayed bill Keller the ░░░░░░░░ at the time but ░░░░░░░░ just my pointing at ░░░░░░░░ New York Times doesn ░░░░░░░░ like anybody to call ░░░░░░░░ out on things I ░░░░░░░░ that But it is ░░░░░░░░ that that meeting happened ░░░░░░░░ both bill Keller and ░░░░░░░░ other side they have ░░░░░░░░ election of it ever ░░░░░░░░ The meeting did occur ░░░░░░░░ was severe pressure and ░░░░░░░░ I know is that ░░░░░░░░ story appeared without any ░░░░░░░░ to women or sexual ░░░░░░░░ at all Tucker That ░░░░░░░░ incredible We should say ░░░░░░░░ New York Times did ░░░░░░░░ you personally after you ░░░░░░░░ that your original story ░░░░░░░░ been altered to take ░░░░░░░░ all the interesting stuff ░░░░░░░░ you think it is ░░░░░░░░ rhetorical question here that ░░░░░░░░ could forget a meeting ░░░░░░░░ David boies and Harvey ░░░░░░░░ in your own newsroom ░░░░░░░░ s an interesting question ░░░░░░░░ what bill Keller came ░░░░░░░░ and said to me ░░░░░░░░ somewhat equivocal He said ░░░░░░░░ do rumor that there ░░░░░░░░ a meeting with Harvey ░░░░░░░░ and David boies but ░░░░░░░░ think it was about ░░░░░░░░ different story in 2007 ░░░░░░░░ I came back him ░░░░░░░░ I said No bill ░░░░░░░░ may well be they ░░░░░░░░ that meeting but what ░░░░░░░░ m asking but is ░░░░░░░░ this meeting in 2004 ░░░░░░░░ the fall three people ░░░░░░░░ it including a former ░░░░░░░░ He chose not to ░░░░░░░░ Basically his saying I ░░░░░░░░ sour grapes because I ░░░░░░░░ the story Which is ░░░░░░░░ what it s about ░░░░░░░░ me It s about ░░░░░░░░ we could have exposed ░░░░░░░░ earlier and perhaps saved ░░░░░░░░ women the suffering or ░░░░░░░░ trials of having been ░░░░░░░░ upon And I didn ░░░░░░░░ have the whole story ░░░░░░░░ m not trying to ░░░░░░░░ that The story I ░░░░░░░░ had to do with ░░░░░░░░ guy in Italy who ░░░░░░░░ on the Disney payroll ░░░░░░░░ job was essentially to ░░░░░░░░ women for him And ░░░░░░░░ there are a ton ░░░░░░░░ women women not an ░░░░░░░░ that story Tucker It ░░░░░░░░ have changed everything if ░░░░░░░░ had run Thank you ░░░░░░░░ filling us in Sharon ░░░░░░░░ thanks.
