walter conkites, the most trusted man in america. that s why you don t see an obvious replacement coming right up for scott pelley. the evening news is simply not what it used to be. cable news ratings are rising, the network is losing an audience and they may not be the natural harth that they once were for the whole country. but they still among them bring in about 22 million viewers a night. they re still a big combine franchise. you have about half a minute here. but it seems all the networks moved away from this sort of, again, rather katie model. scott pelley was an excellent reporter. i knew thought he was a natural anchor. i would agree with that. i think he did a very fine broadcast. it had the most news content of all the broadcast, and he s a very good guy.

you can believe it or not, but i went through hell and i still have to relive this again. earlier this year, the trump campaign released e-mails from harth, in which he praised trump and offered professional makeup services. joining me now is lucia graves, a columnist for the guardian who conducted that interview, and mark murray, nbc news s senior political editor. i want to first place harth s specific account of the incident before we get into this. take a listen. he pulled me aside in the children s room and made another sexually aggressive advance on me, where he tried to make his move, he pushed me up against the wall and had his hands all over me and tried to get up my dress again. given those e-mails, lucia, did you find anything to be amiss with her story or was has her story been generally consistent so far? i actually find her story to
