Former president Donald Trump took a great interest in the sexting scandal involving his aide RFK Jr and reporter Olivia Nuzzi. So much so that he called Kennedy Jr to know everything about it and was on the verge of making a public statement on it on his Truth Social, Puck News reported. "My condolences to Ryan Lizza..." was the message that Trump was going to post on Truth Social but better senses prevailed or he was advised to curb his enthusiasm, the report said.
Ryan Lizza was Olivia Nuzzi's ex-partner who came to news because he also issued a statement that he would not cover Kennedy Jr because of his connection to the issue through his former fiancee Olivia Nuzzi.
The report said Donald Trump has become obsessed with the sexting scandal and called up Kennedy to ask what actually happened. Kennedy maintain his public stance that there was no truth in it and that he met Olivia Nuzzi only once for an interview. Donald Trump even asked whether the relationship went beyond the exchange of nudes, the report said.
31-year-old Olivia Nuzzi was sent on a leave after she admitted -- without naming Kennedy Jr -- that she developed a relationship with a former subject of her reporting. Nuzzi also interviewed Donald Trump after the first assassination attempt on him in July in Pennsylvania.
Kennedy Jr camp tried to portray him as the victim by claiming that Olivia Nuzzi was the aggressor who used to send him nudes. Even after being blocked, she found ways to trick Kennedy Jr into unblocking her, some reports said. Kennedy was trapped, lured -- was what the narrative claimed. While Olivia did not comment on the row after Kennedy camp's pushback, a fresh report claimed that OIivia told her colleagues that Kennedy Jr grabbed her hand when the duo went for a hiking for the interview. The report said Olivia found it a little creepy and her colleague told her she too had such a creepy encounter with Kennedy Jr.
