Not long after, at the Loews Regency hotel on Park Avenue, Harvey Weinstein met with an actress, then retired to a corner with a familiar companion: Dylan Howard, of the National Enquirer. By then, Howard and Weinstein were spending more time together. Often, Howard told colleagues trying to reach him, “I’m with Harvey.” Howard produced several thick manila folders. He and Weinstein spent the following hours scrutinizing their contents, heads bowed in hushed conversation. At one point, one of Weinstein’s assistants walked over to the two men’s table to inform Weinstein that he had an incoming call. Weinstein scrambled to cover up the documents. “What the fuck are you doing back here?!” he shouted. Howard offered a sympathetic glance. Later he whispered to the assistant, “Not jealous of your job!”

Howard’s focus on Weinstein’s opponents had continued. So had his interest in Matt Lauer, a figure the Enquirer had long circled. Since Howard had examined the “kill file” of unpublished reporting about Lauer, the Enquirer had run three negative stories about the Today show anchor. A fourth would arrive shortly after the meeting with Weinstein at the Loews Regency. The stories were preoccupied with Lauer’s infidelity, particularly at work. “NBC Gives Sleazy Lauer One More Chance,” read one headline. “Hey Matt, That’s Not Your Wife!” read another.
