Bucking NDA, Ex-Fox News Reporter Plans To Tell Congress About Outlet's Role In Trump Hush Money Story

A former FOX News employee plans to tell Congress about allegations the outlet tried to stop her from reporting on the Stormy Daniels controversy during the 2016 election, citing an exception to a non-disclosure agreement she signed.

On Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings formally requested the reporter, Diana Falzone, talk with committee investigators and provide documents related to her attempts to report on Daniels' allegations that Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former longtime lawyer, paid her hush money after an alleged affair with Trump in 2006.

Falzone's lawyer, Nancy Erika Smith, told MSNBC on Thursday night that Falzone will now comply under an exception to her NDA with FOX News.

"The law requires that you be allowed to participate in any government investigation — and no NDA can stop that," Smith said on The Beat with Ari Melber.

Cummings' letter requests an interview with Falzone and any documents regarding payments by Trump "to silence women alleging extramarital affairs with him prior to the 2016 presidential election," and "any action taken against [Falzone] in connection with attempts to report on such stories."
