LANNY DAVIS CALLED MY OFFICE DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST, WITHOUT ANY APPOINTMENT OR PREARRANGEMENT, AND INFORMED MY ASSISTANT HE WAS IN THE LOBBY OF ROCKEFELLER CENTER AND WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I WENT DOWN TO THE LOBBY AND, STANDING BY THE ELEVATOR BANK, POLITELY ASKED HIM TO LEAVE. MR. DAVIS SHARED HIS DESIRE TO GIVE BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO NBC NEWS ABOUT ROSE MCGOWAN, INSISTING IT WOULD UNDERMINE HER CREDIBILITY. AT THE TIME OF THIS CONVERSATION, MCGOWAN’S ATTORNEY HAD ALREADY SENT NBC NEWS A CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTER, CITING HER STATUS AS A VICTIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, WITH WHICH WE WERE COMPLYING. THEREFORE, I INFORMED MR. DAVIS THERE WAS NO NEED TO DISCUSS MCGOWAN AND I IMPLORED HIM TO LEAVE HER ALONE. WHEN DAVIS ASKED IF NBC NEWS WAS STILL PURSUING A STORY BUILT ON MCGOWAN’S ALLEGATIONS, I TOLD HIM THAT WE WERE NOT PURSUING ANYTHING THAT INCLUDED MCGOWAN, AND TO STOP TARGETING HER, BUT THAT IF WE DID CHOOSE TO DO A STORY ABOUT WEINSTEIN, HE WOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO RESPOND TO ANY ALLEGATIONS. THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION LASTED ROUGHLY A MINUTE.
