Devin Nunes, alleges that the Obama administration abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in targeting the Trump campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The specifics aren't clear because it is classified and available only to members of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is clear is that Nunes' colleagues who have read the memo say it must be public.

They say it's part of a broader GOP campaign to undermine the bureau and, by extension, special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a quick explanation of the memo and other developments in the churning politics surrounding the Russia probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Nunes Memo\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As the House Intelligence Committee sputtered into partisan mudslinging over Russian interference in the 2016 election, Nunes has conducted a parallel probe of his own into what he alleges was the Obama administration's abuse of the surveillance authority known as FISA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo is the outcome of Nunes' efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 200 House Republicans have made a trip to a secure facility in the Capitol to read the document. Many have then taken to Twitter or cable news shows to warn of what they say are gross violations by the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, described the memo's conclusions as \"worse than Watergate,\" while Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said the document \"is so alarming the American people have to see this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The baseline allegation appears to be that the Obama administration used surveillance tools to target the Trump campaign and that the Russia probe is at root a politically motivated investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's about \"the activities of the last administration, the crimes that, I believe, were committed and the total sham that this Mueller investigation is built on a false premise and rotten to the core,\" said Rep.

Republicans say they are searching for a way to declassify the document so it can be released to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The standard declassification process would involve sharing the document with the government agencies that own the classified information contained in the memo. Those agencies would review the material before its release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, at least, the FBI says it has not been allowed to see the document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The FBI has requested to receive a copy of the memo in order to evaluate the information and take appropriate steps,\" said FBI spokesman Andrew Ames. \"To date, the request has been declined.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Nunes spokesman did not respond to a question about whether the committee had requested an FBI classification review of the document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under House rules, the intelligence committee can vote to disclose information that it determines is in the public interest.

McConnell said he would pursue legislation to address the legal status of roughly 700,000 immigrants protected by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which will expire in March, as well as border security and other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump weighed in on Twitter on Tuesday morning \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955806333667807232\">to congratulate his staff\u003c/a> for its work over the past several days, after much chatter about how little the president himself was involved in the deal-making. Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955795912374267907\">also acknowledged\u003c/a> the big task ahead on working out an immigration deal in 16 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955806333667807232\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress also needs to agree on a long-term funding plan, which is thought to be close at hand, but there are several reasons why finding a bipartisan solution on immigration is far from easy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To begin with, Trump has been inconsistent on what kind of immigration bill he would sign, despite an insistence otherwise from White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday. The broad framework is that, in exchange for a permanent fix for DACA, the president wants funding for the border wall he touted frequently during the campaign, along with an end to what he calls chain migration — or legal immigrants bringing other family members to the U.S. — and an end to the visa lottery system. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders said Tuesday that the bipartisan compromise negotiated by Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., was \"totally unacceptable to the president and should be declared dead on arrival\" because it doesn't meet those benchmarks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RgyODoGrN3sWzLy3fYlBTsijaERRKwct\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Trump held a bipartisan discussion with lawmakers earlier this month, he signaled that he would sign whatever bill Congress sent him, even if he wasn't \"in love with\" it and that he would take any backlash from both sides. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said that he offered Trump funding for his border wall on Friday, hours before the shutdown started, as part of a deal for DACA protections but that Trump's chief of staff, John Kelly, later called to say the deal was off. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer reiterated Tuesday that the wall was now off the table and argued that Trump's inability to negotiate was what had led to the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tensions were already inflamed after Trump reportedly used a vulgarity to refer to African countries and disparaged Haiti during a discussion of U.S. visa and immigration policies with a bipartisan group of senators earlier this month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Sanders wouldn't commit to Trump's supporting a path to citizenship, instead of simply a legal status for the \"DREAMers.\" That is the common name given to those who are in the U.S. illegally after entering the country as children. For Democrats, and even some Republicans, a status short of citizenship could be a nonstarter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"c0YH3zEUDpFtYlN6f5b6esjxTvDi6EQZ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even if a bill passes the Senate, it could have a much tougher time in the House, where Republicans say they will not be bound by any deal made in the Senate. The last time the Senate passed a major immigration overhaul bill, in 2013, it died a year later in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump did meet with six GOP senators on Monday to discuss \"the next steps on responsible immigration reform.\" That group included immigration hard-liners such as Sens.

The broad framework is that, in exchange for a permanent fix for DACA, the president wants funding for the border wall he touted frequently during the campaign, along with an end to what he calls chain migration — or legal immigrants bringing other family members to the U.S. — and an end to the visa lottery system. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders said Tuesday that the bipartisan compromise negotiated by Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., was \"totally unacceptable to the president and should be declared dead on arrival\" because it doesn't meet those benchmarks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Trump held a bipartisan discussion with lawmakers earlier this month, he signaled that he would sign whatever bill Congress sent him, even if he wasn't \"in love with\" it and that he would take any backlash from both sides. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said that he offered Trump funding for his border wall on Friday, hours before the shutdown started, as part of a deal for DACA protections but that Trump's chief of staff, John Kelly, later called to say the deal was off. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer reiterated Tuesday that the wall was now off the table and argued that Trump's inability to negotiate was what had led to the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tensions were already inflamed after Trump reportedly used a vulgarity to refer to African countries and disparaged Haiti during a discussion of U.S. visa and immigration policies with a bipartisan group of senators earlier this month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Sanders wouldn't commit to Trump's supporting a path to citizenship, instead of simply a legal status for the \"DREAMers.\" That is the common name given to those who are in the U.S. illegally after entering the country as children. For Democrats, and even some Republicans, a status short of citizenship could be a nonstarter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even if a bill passes the Senate, it could have a much tougher time in the House, where Republicans say they will not be bound by any deal made in the Senate. The last time the Senate passed a major immigration overhaul bill, in 2013, it died a year later in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump did meet with six GOP senators on Monday to discuss \"the next steps on responsible immigration reform.\" That group included immigration hard-liners such as Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and David Perdue, R-Ga., who were not members of the bipartisan group that has been working to find a solution palpable to both sides. Not in attendance were Graham and Flake, who are part of the bipartisan group, but Sen.

It was initially overturned in the state courts, then upheld and was overturned again in 2017. In Louisiana, a law requiring that all aborted tissue be buried or cremated — an impossible task in the case of medication abortion — is currently suspended \u003ca href=\"https://rewire.news/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/June-Med.-Servs.-v.-Gee-1st-Am-Complaint.pdf\">as the state court tries it\u003c/a>. And as of last fall, the Missouri health department \u003ca href=\"http://health.mo.gov/safety/abortion/pdf/sb5-memo.pdf\">requires\u003c/a> any facilities providing medication abortion to contract with an OB-GYN who can be on call around the clock to personally handle any complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the bill in California are unsure that public university health centers should provide medication for abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anna Arend, the Northern California regional coordinator for Students for Life of America, testified during the Senate education committee hearing on behalf of student groups across California that oppose the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These students have formed a coalition to oppose SB 320 due to the horrible realities of RU 486, the abortion by medication technique, and the dangers that it would bring to their campus. And the simple fact that abortion pills are not a factor in student success,\" \u003ca href=\"http://senate.ca.gov/media/senate-education-committee-20180110/video\">Arend says\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is alone in considering a measure like this, but the legislative push is in line with the state's previous policies, says Elizabeth Nash, a senior state issues analyst at the Guttmacher Institute. The state also requires all health insurers to provide abortion coverage and sets no waiting period for abortion procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Senate committees on health, education and appropriations have each approved the bill. Next, the bill will move to the Senate floor for a vote, which is expected by the end of January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for funding the abortion services, SB 320 doesn't specify the use of any state or university money. A private consortium that includes the Women's Foundation of California, Tara Health Foundation and a private donor has agreed to pay for implementation. The estimated cost is about $14 million, says Dr. Ruth Shaber, president of \u003ca href=\"https://tarahealthfoundation.org/about-us/\">Tara Health Foundation\u003c/a>. That figure \"includes the training, any type of new equipment that's necessary, and training in the processes, billing for the procedure, and making sure that the clinics are really prepared to implement the procedure and to offer the care well,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus health clinics currently provide reproductive health care, like testing for sexually transmitted diseases and contraceptives.

It was initially overturned in the state courts, then upheld and was overturned again in 2017. In Louisiana, a law requiring that all aborted tissue be buried or cremated — an impossible task in the case of medication abortion — is currently suspended \u003ca href=\"https://rewire.news/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/June-Med.-Servs.-v.-Gee-1st-Am-Complaint.pdf\">as the state court tries it\u003c/a>.

The state also requires all health insurers to provide abortion coverage and sets no waiting period for abortion procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Senate committees on health, education and appropriations have each approved the bill. Next, the bill will move to the Senate floor for a vote, which is expected by the end of January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for funding the abortion services, SB 320 doesn't specify the use of any state or university money. A private consortium that includes the Women's Foundation of California, Tara Health Foundation and a private donor has agreed to pay for implementation. The estimated cost is about $14 million, says Dr. Ruth Shaber, president of \u003ca href=\"https://tarahealthfoundation.org/about-us/\">Tara Health Foundation\u003c/a>. That figure \"includes the training, any type of new equipment that's necessary, and training in the processes, billing for the procedure, and making sure that the clinics are really prepared to implement the procedure and to offer the care well,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus health clinics currently provide reproductive health care, like testing for sexually transmitted diseases and contraceptives. The risk of complications from medication abortion is low.

That is looking more and more difficult after most Democrats and at least three Republicans senators have said they won’t vote for the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure passed in the House, 230-197 with 11 Republicans voting against the bill and 6 Democrats voting for it, after House Freedom Caucus members reached a deal to vote for the bill. The group’s chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., had initially claimed enough of his members would withhold support that the bill would fail with GOP votes only, but about an hour before the vote was expected to begin Meadows told reporters he received enough concessions from House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., including plans for future votes on additional military funding, that he would recommend his caucus vote for the bill. And Thursday evening, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/954132162760069120\">the group said on Twitter\u003c/a> that a majority of its members has decided to support the stop-gap measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”O8QGZam90AaEjlzrDO1nzlidR9zEqyV5″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, want to include a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), set to expire in March, to protect the roughly 700,000 enrollees in the program who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. And House Democrats have indicated they won’t encourage their members to vote for the bill in order to bail out Republicans if the GOP falls short of the votes needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Senate Republicans have already said they won’t support the bill. Republicans only have a 51-49 advantage, with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., possibly unavailable due to medical issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was one of the lawmakers pushing for a bipartisan immigration deal to go along with a funding bill, reiterated Thursday evening he would oppose any short-term measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to support continuing this fiasco for 30 more days by voting for a continuing resolution,” Graham said. “It’s time Congress stop the cycle of dysfunction, grow up, and act consistent with the values of a great nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, President Trump injected fresh confusion into tense negotiations to avert an impending shutdown with a Thursday morning tweet that indicated he opposed the measure the White House had previously signaled support for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. The House funding bill includes a six-year renewal of the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, which GOP leaders included as a potential sweetener to get the votes they need to pass the stop-gap measure and to force Democrats to vote against the program they’re eager to reauthorize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953984671674662912\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan downplayed the tweet to reporters Thursday morning. “I am sure where he stands. He fully supports passing this legislation,” Ryan countered, noting that he spoke to the president after the tweet was posted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s tweet also contradicted the White House’s already stated position in favor of the stop-gap bill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Thursday, White House spokesman Raj Shah said the president supports the House bill. “The President supports the continuing resolution introduced in the House. Congress needs to do its job and provide full funding of our troops and military with a two-year budget caps deal,” Shah said. “However, as the deal is negotiated, the President wants to ensure our military and national security are funded. He will not let it be held hostage by Democrats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”ovNBjjUE1bp2FxNmzaxfbb2E9FV7eJV3″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday morning that he anticipates the House will pass the funding bill, but its fate in the Senate is uncertain. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he was “not sure what the president means” when asked on \u003cem>Fox & Friends \u003c/em>about the CHIP tweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last-minute confusion over CHIP further complicated spending negotiations that were stalled when Trump rejected a bipartisan Senate immigration plan intended to pave the way for a long-term spending agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also jabbed at Democrats in another tweet this morning over the stalled negotiations to reach a deal on spending limits for this fiscal year. “A government shutdown will be devastating to our military…something the Dems care very little about!” he tweeted. Democrats are resisting a spending deal agreement until a bipartisan immigration deal is clinched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigration talks fell apart last week after Trump rejected a plan proposed by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., to pair increased border security with new legal protections and a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 700,000 DACA participants who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”RGt5BPA3IgWAkorMfTSyLkuOBjuKPMg3″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that meeting that Trump questioned why the U.S. would want more immigrants from “shithole countries” in Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also weighed in Thursday on Twitter on immigration, again demanding money for a wall along the southern border with Mexico. “We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country. We need the Wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world. If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953979393180950528\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say they will not accept any spending bill that funds the construction of a physical border wall but they have been willing to negotiate over money for increased technology and other forms of border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953979393180950528\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, a second group of negotiators, led by the second-ranking Republicans and Democrats in the House and the Senate, has stepped in to attempt to craft a new deal but the talks have been largely unsuccessful, according to several aides familiar with the talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin is one of those negotiators, but he has indicated he will vote against the stop-gap funding measure in the Senate. A growing number of Senate Democrats see the vote on the funding bill as a leverage point to try and reach a deal on immigration, even if their opposition threatens a shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three centrist Democrats, Sen. Angus King of Maine (he is an independent but caucuses with Democrats) and Virginia Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner all announced Thursday morning they would oppose the funding measure. All three voted in favor of the previous stop-gap measure in late December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Congress should remain in session with no recess until we work out a long-term bipartisan budget deal that addresses all issues,” Kaine and Warner said in a joint statement in which they said they would vote for a stop-gap measure lasting just a few days to keep the government’s lights on and negotiations ongoing. Virginia is home to a large number of government employees who would be directly affected by a shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”klx6cgYYTeWQbPEzIaxHvmIBURwQeSac”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The continuing resolution is just a gimmick,” Kaine said Thursday evening on NPR’s \u003cem>All Things Considered\u003c/em>. “It’s a way of saying well we can’t decide so let’s just drive by looking in the rearview mirror and do what we did yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House needs to pass a bill Thursday in order to give the Senate time to do the same ahead of the midnight Friday deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One key Democratic divide in the Senate: a tactical split between the Democrats running for re-election this year in states that Trump carried, and the Democrats being mentioned as possible 2020 contenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”GJOovzvchBeeQhNOcwR0wIWDZXNaAjJs”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2020 hopefuls like New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, California Sen. Kamala Harris and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand all oppose voting for a funding bill, if it doesn’t include permanent protections for DACA recipients. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has advocated for this, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December, seven of the 10 Democrats running in states that Trump won in 2016 voted in favor of the funding bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration activists have increased the pressure on Democrats to oppose any spending measure while DACA is still unresolved.

That is looking more and more difficult after most Democrats and at least three Republicans senators have said they won’t vote for the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure passed in the House, 230-197 with 11 Republicans voting against the bill and 6 Democrats voting for it, after House Freedom Caucus members reached a deal to vote for the bill. The group’s chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., had initially claimed enough of his members would withhold support that the bill would fail with GOP votes only, but about an hour before the vote was expected to begin Meadows told reporters he received enough concessions from House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., including plans for future votes on additional military funding, that he would recommend his caucus vote for the bill. And Thursday evening, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/954132162760069120\">the group said on Twitter\u003c/a> that a majority of its members has decided to support the stop-gap measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, want to include a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), set to expire in March, to protect the roughly 700,000 enrollees in the program who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. And House Democrats have indicated they won’t encourage their members to vote for the bill in order to bail out Republicans if the GOP falls short of the votes needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was one of the lawmakers pushing for a bipartisan immigration deal to go along with a funding bill, reiterated Thursday evening he would oppose any short-term measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to support continuing this fiasco for 30 more days by voting for a continuing resolution,” Graham said. “It’s time Congress stop the cycle of dysfunction, grow up, and act consistent with the values of a great nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, President Trump injected fresh confusion into tense negotiations to avert an impending shutdown with a Thursday morning tweet that indicated he opposed the measure the White House had previously signaled support for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. The House funding bill includes a six-year renewal of the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, which GOP leaders included as a potential sweetener to get the votes they need to pass the stop-gap measure and to force Democrats to vote against the program they’re eager to reauthorize.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Congress needs to do its job and provide full funding of our troops and military with a two-year budget caps deal,” Shah said. “However, as the deal is negotiated, the President wants to ensure our military and national security are funded.

Democrats are resisting a spending deal agreement until a bipartisan immigration deal is clinched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigration talks fell apart last week after Trump rejected a plan proposed by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., to pair increased border security with new legal protections and a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 700,000 DACA participants who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that meeting that Trump questioned why the U.S. would want more immigrants from “shithole countries” in Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also weighed in Thursday on Twitter on immigration, again demanding money for a wall along the southern border with Mexico. “We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country. We need the Wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world. If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953979393180950528\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say they will not accept any spending bill that funds the construction of a physical border wall but they have been willing to negotiate over money for increased technology and other forms of border security.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Yet a review by NPR finds that the newspaper's own CEO and publisher, Ross Levinsohn, has been a defendant in two sexual harassment lawsuits and that his conduct in work settings over the past two decades has been called into question repeatedly by female colleagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This story is based on a review of court documents, financial filings and fresh interviews with 26 former colleagues and associates. Taken in concert, they suggest a pattern of questionable behavior and questionable decisions on the job. The portrait that repeatedly emerges is one of a frat-boy executive, catapulting ever higher, even as he creates corporate climates that alienated some of the people who worked for and with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the accusations:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Levinsohn was sued in separate sexual harassment lawsuits as an executive at two different corporations. By his own sworn testimony, Levinsohn admitted to rating the relative \"hotness\" of his female colleagues in office banter as a vice president at a digital media company. He also testified that he speculated about whether a woman who worked for him there was a stripper on the side.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Two witnesses say they were shocked to see Levinsohn aggressively kissing and pressing himself against a woman at a glitzy music industry dinner in plain view of his subordinates and his clients. Levinsohn was married at the time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Levinsohn once told an executive for the \u003cem>Hollywood Reporter \u003c/em>he would not stay at the publication's lunch honoring the entertainment business's most influential fashion stylists because he would have to be surrounded by gays — using a vulgar epithet for them, according to the executive.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Almost all people interviewed declined to be quoted by name, citing concerns for their careers given Levinsohn's current perch atop the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>. It is one of the most important newspapers in the country and is the most influential media organization in California, the capital of the world's entertainment industry. His behavior, as described by those who worked with him, raises questions about how effectively he can lead the paper as it covers the #MeToo movement and such widespread harassment revelations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn did not respond on the record to detailed questions emailed to him and a \u003cem>Times \u003c/em>spokeswoman setting out the chief allegations raised in this story. In a telephone call he initiated Wednesday with NPR's CEO, Jarl Mohn, Levinsohn called those allegations \"lies\" and said he would retain legal counsel if he felt NPR had disparaged him. NPR sent detailed questions to Tronc's chief executive and public affairs staffers early Wednesday morning. The crisis management strategist Charles Sipkins issued a statement on Thursday afternoon on behalf of Tronc -- parent company of the \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> -- saying Levinsohn had been placed under investigation by the corporation after the story was posted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This week, we became aware of allegations that Ross Levinsohn acted inappropriately. We are immediately launching an investigation so that we have a better understanding of what's occurred,\" the statement read. \"At Tronc, we expect all employees to act in a way that supports a culture of diversity and inclusion. We will take appropriate action to address any behavior that falls short of these expectations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sipkins said Tronc had not suspended Levinsohn. Other media executives who have been investigated, suspended or terminated after being accused of sexual misconduct include Michael Oreskes, NPR's former top news editor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday afternoon, the organizing committee of the journalists in the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> newsroom pushing for a union there called for Levinsohn to be fired immediately, based on NPR's findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/578612534/578957015\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in August, top officials at Tronc wanted new leadership to run its crown jewel. They fired a slew of top executives at the newspaper and hired Levinsohn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn has held prominent jobs at some of the nation's most notable media and digital media companies over the past generation, including CBS, the early search engine Alta Vista, News Corp. and Yahoo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"xtj6Uu7JNuZ6aW4mdfdk90FjHr4clg90\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tronc CEO Justin Dearborn called Levinsohn \"a visionary and innovative leader\" in August while naming him to the top job at the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>. Levinsohn is invariably described as an affable and charismatic presence, seen as a consummate salesman by advertising clients and corporate mentors. And he was a familiar figure at Tronc, which had already paid his firm hundreds of thousands of dollars for strategic advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, federal regulators will reveal the results of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/02/575168274/los-angeles-times-newsroom-employees-to-vote-on-unionizing\">unionization drive\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> newsroom — a drive fueled in part by profound doubts over Levinsohn's commitment to quality journalism and ability to lead the paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an executive at the search engine company Alta Vista in 2001, Levinsohn gave testimony in a sexual harassment and sexual discrimination case in which he had been sued, along with other defendants. Levinsohn conceded under oath that he had assessed the \"hotness\" and bodies of female subordinates; Levinsohn also testified that he had discussed whether a female subordinate was working as a stripper on the side and that he engaged in speculation about whether she had slept with a co-worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Alta Vista employee Christine Fox had sued the company and several executives, including Levinsohn. She alleged she had failed to receive a significant raise to move from Massachusetts to the Bay Area, where the cost of living was far higher, and that there was a hostile work environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"gWLFAneKFhvhkLw6n38bPzfcEyiKDxzC\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another former Alta Vista executive, Celia Francis, testified in the case that she had warned two top executives about the culture Levinsohn had created when she left the company. \"Ross was creating a frat house environment,\" Francis testified at the time. \"His behavior was inappropriate. ... I wanted to let them know they should do something about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his deposition, Levinsohn testified that he thought Fox's complaint was \"ludicrous,\" given her own behavior. Fox's lawyers argued that Alta Vista's attorneys made such wide-ranging inquiries into her romantic and dating life in defending the case that Fox's attorneys asked the judge to limit such queries to people named in the suit. (Christine Fox could not be reached for comment.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his testimony, Levinsohn said any sexually charged banter he participated in took place at a distance from female employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessie Dennen, who was Alta Vista's recruitment and hiring chief at that time, contradicts Levinsohn's testimony. Dennen tells NPR that Levinsohn directly participated in conversations speculating about Fox's sexual partners in staff meetings, right in front of Dennen and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ross created a definite frat boys' club,\" Dennen says now. \"They openly would rate women. I remember feeling uncomfortable. I would roll my eyes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennen testified in defense of the company at the time but tells NPR that she regrets failing to object in those meetings and regrets not supporting Fox's claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't appreciate how Alta Vista was trying to slut-shame Chris,\" Dennen tells NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fox's sexual harassment lawsuit against Levinsohn and others at the company was settled in August 2002, five days before going to trial. The size of the payment to settle the case was not made public, though filings in the Santa Clara County courthouse state she had asked for $750,000 to settle it and that Alta Vista had offered $100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alta Vista crumbled under challenge from other newer search engines, including Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn moved on to other major gigs at Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Consistently, Levinsohn's colleagues — admirers and detractors — describe him as a good-time guy, someone happy to party as a way to smooth the path to deals. He advocated that Rupert Murdoch acquire the social media platform MySpace — which News Corp. did in 2005, for $580 million. MySpace was all but vaporized by Facebook. Murdoch sold the social media platform in 2011 for $35 million, calling it \"a huge mistake,\" but blamed himself for the failure of the investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2006, Levinsohn, by then a senior vice president for News Corp., was a defendant in a lawsuit against the company and various Fox executives (Fox Sports and other parts of Murdoch's entertainment and television empire were still under the News Corp. umbrella at that time). The video producer who filed the suit claimed she had been sexually harassed in the workplace by her boss, a subordinate of Levinsohn's. She alleged that when she asked Levinsohn for a promotion, he pointed to a Fox Sports sideline reporter, a former pinup model, as a template for success, saying she \"learned how to work her way to the top.\" The producer suing the company also alleged that sexual harassment was rife in the workplace culture under Levinsohn and other executives there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit was withdrawn by the plaintiff, Amber Tribble, in December 2006, a month after Levinsohn left News Corp. She filed a second case making the same allegations against Levinsohn and others in June 2007. It was fully settled by News Corp. and Fox in April 2008, according to court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn joined Yahoo as a senior executive over ad sales in North America in 2010. His tenure was marked by a swift ascent, including, in 2012, an eight-week stint as interim CEO. Levinsohn had pushed for greater creation of content, with an emphasis on video, winning the loyalty of much of his media team, former Yahoo colleagues say. Levinsohn was so confident that he would be named CEO permanently that he quietly hired a cadre of senior executives — only to find that the board named Google executive Marissa Mayer to the job the following week. That's according to two associates with direct knowledge of his plans at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other factors nettled his colleagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a half-dozen former Yahoo colleagues, Levinsohn's approach to selling ads — a huge component of his job — involved throwing parties to entertain. In 2011, Levinsohn arranged the lease of a boat by Yahoo off the coast of southern France to entertain business partners and clients at the Cannes Lions Creativity Festival. Paid models mingled with participants as they downed drinks while the yacht made small loops in the Mediterranean Sea, according to three former Yahoo executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One attendee from another company recalled that she got onboard, having been invited by Levinsohn to talk business. She told NPR she got off the boat as quickly as possible, saying she shouldn't have to strike deals in a setting where men were gawking at bikini-clad women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told NPR that she told Levinsohn they could make appointments to do business at a more conventional setting. Levinsohn seemed to consider the event a success and later boasted to associates about how he got to host the actor Robert Redford at the Cannes Festival that weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn had pushed for new acquisitions, among them a digital advertising network called 5to1 that he had helped to found. Yahoo purchased it in 2011 for $28 million from his partner at the firm, James Heckman, who had previously worked at News Corp. with him and joined Yahoo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That summer, Yahoo paid for a vacation home in the Hamptons for Levinsohn and Heckman to entertain clients. On more than one occasion, police intervened to shut down parties that generated so much noise they caused disruptions for neighbors, according to two former Yahoo officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"wW08RTkj1y9qSOVovREwLTX59erVO4Uv\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Yahoo, Levinsohn set up shop working on various ventures, including one with Heckman called Scout Media, for which he served as executive chairman. Scout went bankrupt and both men were named as defendants in an ongoing shareholder lawsuit filed last year in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn landed at Guggenheim Partners, then controlling owner of the \u003cem>Hollywood Reporter\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Billboard \u003c/em>magazine, among other properties. He was given the firm's media portfolio to oversee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two incidents stood out for those who witnessed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn arrived late at a March 2013 luncheon held by the \u003cem>Hollywood Reporter\u003c/em> on the rooftop of the SoHo House in West Hollywood. Stars such as Naomi Watts and Zoe Saldana mixed with top Hollywood fashion stylists. The affair was sponsored by the upscale designer line Jimmy Choo. Levinsohn couldn't get out quickly enough. He told an executive for the \u003cem>Hollywood Reporter \u003c/em>why he would have to leave early: \"As my buddy said, why would I hang out with a bunch of ladies and fags?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive that afternoon called the human resources department of the magazine's parent company to describe the incident and told associates what had happened. Two of those associates shared the episode with NPR, and the executive confirmed that sequence of events with NPR as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months later, in May 2013, sister publication \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em> held a dinner and party the night before the \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em> Music Awards in Las Vegas. Guggenheim Partners staged the dinner, sponsored by Samsung, at the Hakkasan restaurant and nightclub in the MGM Grand Hotel. The Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Miguel mixed with guests over drinks; the Scottish star DJ Calvin Harris staged an EDM set at the nightclub afterward. And, according to two eyewitnesses who attended the event, Levinsohn aggressively kissed a woman, his hands ranging over her body, in open sight of others present, including his own employees. (NPR also spoke to someone to whom one of the witnesses described the episode within 24 hours.) Levinsohn's then-wife arrived in Las Vegas the next day, according to attendees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The physical contact appeared reciprocated to the witnesses; no one has alleged the contact was nonconsensual. But the two witnesses said they believed it to be inappropriate and unprofessional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for the holding company of the two magazines had no comment on either incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is not clear how much Tronc knew of the allegations against Levinsohn in the sexual harassment lawsuits or of the accounts of his behavior at Yahoo and at Guggenheim over the entertainment magazines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn was well-known to Michael Ferro, the chairman and controlling owner of Tronc, as well as others at the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"xoI97nBwKuk4lKAc9trgzDqBhedjyewI\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn had joined the board of directors of its corporate predecessor, Tribune, in 2012 and remains on the board of Tribune Media, the television and entertainment part of the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tronc also paid Levinsohn's consulting firm WAYD $600,000 over 2016 and 2017 for strategic advice about, among other things, the future of the\u003cem> Los Angeles Times.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levisohn has received a generous package to join the paper full time. According to corporate filings, Levinsohn's contract guarantees him pay and bonuses totalling $1 million a year and a cash bonus of $1 million. He was awarded stock currently worth $7.2 million and options to acquire shares worth millions more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a third element: Levinsohn is also eligible for additional incentive pay of up to 10 percent of the gross revenue Tronc receives from licensing the \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> content and brand or for syndication of its content internationally. Industry analyst Ken Doctor \u003ca href=\"https://www.thestreet.com/story/14281722/1/how-golden-is-ross-levinsohn-s-new-parachute.html\">called that language \"odd,\"\u003c/a> saying it was \"treating Levinsohn's work there almost as if he were an outside consultant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn is once more turning to old friends to help run the paper. He has installed Mickie Rosen, a former top deputy at Yahoo, as the paper's president. And the newspaper's new editor-in-chief is Lewis D'Vorkin, a former editor-in-chief at \u003cem>Forbes \u003c/em>magazine who worked at the \u003cem>Wall Street Journal,\u003c/em> the \u003cem>New York Times \u003c/em>and AOL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn declared that he wanted the newspaper to own coverage of Hollywood, and it has sought to remain competitive on stories about sexual harassment allegations against prominent men in entertainment and media. The \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> broke stories about allegations of sexual assault by director James Toback and instances of alleged misconduct by actor James Franco, among others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D'Vorkin and Levinsohn upset many reporters in the newsroom last fall by failing to defend the paper's coverage publicly after meeting with Disney executives who condemned its stories documenting financial windfalls the company received from the City of Anaheim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D'Vorkin was also the founder of a digital news and commentary site called True/Slant, which paid prominent writers to contribute pieces while offering incentives based on how much traffic they generated. And other figures could pay the site to post articles there promoting their expertise or their products. Levinsohn's venture firm Fuse Capital was an investor in True/Slant and he served on its board until it was sold to \u003cem>Forbes,\u003c/em> which adopted a similar model featuring paid staffers, unpaid contributors and those who were paying for exposure on the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Levinsohn participated \u003ca href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4138426-tronc-trnc-presents-needham-and-co-20th-annual-growth-conference-slideshow\">in a presentation to investors\u003c/a> in which he appeared to anticipate the adoption of a related \"contributor\" model for the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times \u003c/em>and other Tronc properties: \"The approach allows us to be less dependent on the newsroom transformation as we pursue other growth opportunities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some at the \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> have questioned whether the paper's leadership is looking out for itself or the news. The paper's historic headquarters downtown no longer belongs to the paper or Tronc but to its former corporate sibling, Tribune Media. Levinsohn joined peers on the old Tribune Co. board in voting to give away the newspaper assets to the new television company. Last summer, Tribune Media sold the \u003cem>L.A. Times \u003c/em>printing plant for $120 million to a California developer and the downtown headquarters for $105 million to a Canadian developer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to six \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> journalists, the union drive has been propelled in part by related concerns over the commitment of the paper's leadership to its journalism and its financial soundness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this story was first posted, the organizing committee for the newsroom union released a statement for Levinsohn to resign or be fired immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are appalled by the findings in the NPR story,\" the statement reads. \"A man who sexually harasses women, engages in 'slut-shaming' and refers to gay men as 'fags' is not fit to lead our newspaper. Tronc and its board of directors must be held accountable for their failure to properly vet Levinsohn for one of the most important positions at the company and in American journalism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union demanded an independent investigation to examine the process by which Levinsohn was hired and whether he acted inappropriately toward colleagues at the newspaper during his tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The journalists declined to be identified, saying they feared retribution for public criticism. Several noted they did not have union protections. Federal regulators plan to announce the result of the vote over whether a union will be recognized at the \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Yet a review by NPR finds that the newspaper's own CEO and publisher, Ross Levinsohn, has been a defendant in two sexual harassment lawsuits and that his conduct in work settings over the past two decades has been called into question repeatedly by female colleagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This story is based on a review of court documents, financial filings and fresh interviews with 26 former colleagues and associates. Taken in concert, they suggest a pattern of questionable behavior and questionable decisions on the job. The portrait that repeatedly emerges is one of a frat-boy executive, catapulting ever higher, even as he creates corporate climates that alienated some of the people who worked for and with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the accusations:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Levinsohn was sued in separate sexual harassment lawsuits as an executive at two different corporations. By his own sworn testimony, Levinsohn admitted to rating the relative \"hotness\" of his female colleagues in office banter as a vice president at a digital media company. He also testified that he speculated about whether a woman who worked for him there was a stripper on the side.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Two witnesses say they were shocked to see Levinsohn aggressively kissing and pressing himself against a woman at a glitzy music industry dinner in plain view of his subordinates and his clients. Levinsohn was married at the time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Levinsohn once told an executive for the \u003cem>Hollywood Reporter \u003c/em>he would not stay at the publication's lunch honoring the entertainment business's most influential fashion stylists because he would have to be surrounded by gays — using a vulgar epithet for them, according to the executive.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Almost all people interviewed declined to be quoted by name, citing concerns for their careers given Levinsohn's current perch atop the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>. It is one of the most important newspapers in the country and is the most influential media organization in California, the capital of the world's entertainment industry. His behavior, as described by those who worked with him, raises questions about how effectively he can lead the paper as it covers the #MeToo movement and such widespread harassment revelations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a telephone call he initiated Wednesday with NPR's CEO, Jarl Mohn, Levinsohn called those allegations \"lies\" and said he would retain legal counsel if he felt NPR had disparaged him. NPR sent detailed questions to Tronc's chief executive and public affairs staffers early Wednesday morning. The crisis management strategist Charles Sipkins issued a statement on Thursday afternoon on behalf of Tronc -- parent company of the \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> -- saying Levinsohn had been placed under investigation by the corporation after the story was posted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This week, we became aware of allegations that Ross Levinsohn acted inappropriately. We are immediately launching an investigation so that we have a better understanding of what's occurred,\" the statement read. \"At Tronc, we expect all employees to act in a way that supports a culture of diversity and inclusion. We will take appropriate action to address any behavior that falls short of these expectations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sipkins said Tronc had not suspended Levinsohn. Other media executives who have been investigated, suspended or terminated after being accused of sexual misconduct include Michael Oreskes, NPR's former top news editor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday afternoon, the organizing committee of the journalists in the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> newsroom pushing for a union there called for Levinsohn to be fired immediately, based on NPR's findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/578612534/578957015\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in August, top officials at Tronc wanted new leadership to run its crown jewel. They fired a slew of top executives at the newspaper and hired Levinsohn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn has held prominent jobs at some of the nation's most notable media and digital media companies over the past generation, including CBS, the early search engine Alta Vista, News Corp. and Yahoo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tronc CEO Justin Dearborn called Levinsohn \"a visionary and innovative leader\" in August while naming him to the top job at the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>. Levinsohn is invariably described as an affable and charismatic presence, seen as a consummate salesman by advertising clients and corporate mentors. And he was a familiar figure at Tronc, which had already paid his firm hundreds of thousands of dollars for strategic advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, federal regulators will reveal the results of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/02/575168274/los-angeles-times-newsroom-employees-to-vote-on-unionizing\">unionization drive\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> newsroom — a drive fueled in part by profound doubts over Levinsohn's commitment to quality journalism and ability to lead the paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an executive at the search engine company Alta Vista in 2001, Levinsohn gave testimony in a sexual harassment and sexual discrimination case in which he had been sued, along with other defendants. Levinsohn conceded under oath that he had assessed the \"hotness\" and bodies of female subordinates; Levinsohn also testified that he had discussed whether a female subordinate was working as a stripper on the side and that he engaged in speculation about whether she had slept with a co-worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Alta Vista employee Christine Fox had sued the company and several executives, including Levinsohn. She alleged she had failed to receive a significant raise to move from Massachusetts to the Bay Area, where the cost of living was far higher, and that there was a hostile work environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another former Alta Vista executive, Celia Francis, testified in the case that she had warned two top executives about the culture Levinsohn had created when she left the company. \"Ross was creating a frat house environment,\" Francis testified at the time. \"His behavior was inappropriate. ... I wanted to let them know they should do something about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his deposition, Levinsohn testified that he thought Fox's complaint was \"ludicrous,\" given her own behavior. Fox's lawyers argued that Alta Vista's attorneys made such wide-ranging inquiries into her romantic and dating life in defending the case that Fox's attorneys asked the judge to limit such queries to people named in the suit. (Christine Fox could not be reached for comment.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his testimony, Levinsohn said any sexually charged banter he participated in took place at a distance from female employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessie Dennen, who was Alta Vista's recruitment and hiring chief at that time, contradicts Levinsohn's testimony. Dennen tells NPR that Levinsohn directly participated in conversations speculating about Fox's sexual partners in staff meetings, right in front of Dennen and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ross created a definite frat boys' club,\" Dennen says now. \"They openly would rate women. I remember feeling uncomfortable. I would roll my eyes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennen testified in defense of the company at the time but tells NPR that she regrets failing to object in those meetings and regrets not supporting Fox's claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't appreciate how Alta Vista was trying to slut-shame Chris,\" Dennen tells NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fox's sexual harassment lawsuit against Levinsohn and others at the company was settled in August 2002, five days before going to trial. The size of the payment to settle the case was not made public, though filings in the Santa Clara County courthouse state she had asked for $750,000 to settle it and that Alta Vista had offered $100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alta Vista crumbled under challenge from other newer search engines, including Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn moved on to other major gigs at Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Consistently, Levinsohn's colleagues — admirers and detractors — describe him as a good-time guy, someone happy to party as a way to smooth the path to deals. He advocated that Rupert Murdoch acquire the social media platform MySpace — which News Corp. did in 2005, for $580 million. MySpace was all but vaporized by Facebook. Murdoch sold the social media platform in 2011 for $35 million, calling it \"a huge mistake,\" but blamed himself for the failure of the investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2006, Levinsohn, by then a senior vice president for News Corp., was a defendant in a lawsuit against the company and various Fox executives (Fox Sports and other parts of Murdoch's entertainment and television empire were still under the News Corp. umbrella at that time). The video producer who filed the suit claimed she had been sexually harassed in the workplace by her boss, a subordinate of Levinsohn's. She alleged that when she asked Levinsohn for a promotion, he pointed to a Fox Sports sideline reporter, a former pinup model, as a template for success, saying she \"learned how to work her way to the top.\" The producer suing the company also alleged that sexual harassment was rife in the workplace culture under Levinsohn and other executives there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit was withdrawn by the plaintiff, Amber Tribble, in December 2006, a month after Levinsohn left News Corp. She filed a second case making the same allegations against Levinsohn and others in June 2007. It was fully settled by News Corp. and Fox in April 2008, according to court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn joined Yahoo as a senior executive over ad sales in North America in 2010. His tenure was marked by a swift ascent, including, in 2012, an eight-week stint as interim CEO. Levinsohn had pushed for greater creation of content, with an emphasis on video, winning the loyalty of much of his media team, former Yahoo colleagues say. Levinsohn was so confident that he would be named CEO permanently that he quietly hired a cadre of senior executives — only to find that the board named Google executive Marissa Mayer to the job the following week. That's according to two associates with direct knowledge of his plans at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other factors nettled his colleagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a half-dozen former Yahoo colleagues, Levinsohn's approach to selling ads — a huge component of his job — involved throwing parties to entertain. In 2011, Levinsohn arranged the lease of a boat by Yahoo off the coast of southern France to entertain business partners and clients at the Cannes Lions Creativity Festival. Paid models mingled with participants as they downed drinks while the yacht made small loops in the Mediterranean Sea, according to three former Yahoo executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One attendee from another company recalled that she got onboard, having been invited by Levinsohn to talk business. She told NPR she got off the boat as quickly as possible, saying she shouldn't have to strike deals in a setting where men were gawking at bikini-clad women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told NPR that she told Levinsohn they could make appointments to do business at a more conventional setting. Levinsohn seemed to consider the event a success and later boasted to associates about how he got to host the actor Robert Redford at the Cannes Festival that weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn had pushed for new acquisitions, among them a digital advertising network called 5to1 that he had helped to found. Yahoo purchased it in 2011 for $28 million from his partner at the firm, James Heckman, who had previously worked at News Corp. with him and joined Yahoo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That summer, Yahoo paid for a vacation home in the Hamptons for Levinsohn and Heckman to entertain clients. On more than one occasion, police intervened to shut down parties that generated so much noise they caused disruptions for neighbors, according to two former Yahoo officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Yahoo, Levinsohn set up shop working on various ventures, including one with Heckman called Scout Media, for which he served as executive chairman. Scout went bankrupt and both men were named as defendants in an ongoing shareholder lawsuit filed last year in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn landed at Guggenheim Partners, then controlling owner of the \u003cem>Hollywood Reporter\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Billboard \u003c/em>magazine, among other properties. He was given the firm's media portfolio to oversee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two incidents stood out for those who witnessed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn arrived late at a March 2013 luncheon held by the \u003cem>Hollywood Reporter\u003c/em> on the rooftop of the SoHo House in West Hollywood. Stars such as Naomi Watts and Zoe Saldana mixed with top Hollywood fashion stylists. The affair was sponsored by the upscale designer line Jimmy Choo. Levinsohn couldn't get out quickly enough. He told an executive for the \u003cem>Hollywood Reporter \u003c/em>why he would have to leave early: \"As my buddy said, why would I hang out with a bunch of ladies and fags?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive that afternoon called the human resources department of the magazine's parent company to describe the incident and told associates what had happened. Two of those associates shared the episode with NPR, and the executive confirmed that sequence of events with NPR as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months later, in May 2013, sister publication \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em> held a dinner and party the night before the \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em> Music Awards in Las Vegas. Guggenheim Partners staged the dinner, sponsored by Samsung, at the Hakkasan restaurant and nightclub in the MGM Grand Hotel. The Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Miguel mixed with guests over drinks; the Scottish star DJ Calvin Harris staged an EDM set at the nightclub afterward. And, according to two eyewitnesses who attended the event, Levinsohn aggressively kissed a woman, his hands ranging over her body, in open sight of others present, including his own employees. (NPR also spoke to someone to whom one of the witnesses described the episode within 24 hours.) Levinsohn's then-wife arrived in Las Vegas the next day, according to attendees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The physical contact appeared reciprocated to the witnesses; no one has alleged the contact was nonconsensual. But the two witnesses said they believed it to be inappropriate and unprofessional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for the holding company of the two magazines had no comment on either incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is not clear how much Tronc knew of the allegations against Levinsohn in the sexual harassment lawsuits or of the accounts of his behavior at Yahoo and at Guggenheim over the entertainment magazines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn was well-known to Michael Ferro, the chairman and controlling owner of Tronc, as well as others at the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn had joined the board of directors of its corporate predecessor, Tribune, in 2012 and remains on the board of Tribune Media, the television and entertainment part of the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tronc also paid Levinsohn's consulting firm WAYD $600,000 over 2016 and 2017 for strategic advice about, among other things, the future of the\u003cem> Los Angeles Times.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levisohn has received a generous package to join the paper full time. According to corporate filings, Levinsohn's contract guarantees him pay and bonuses totalling $1 million a year and a cash bonus of $1 million. He was awarded stock currently worth $7.2 million and options to acquire shares worth millions more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a third element: Levinsohn is also eligible for additional incentive pay of up to 10 percent of the gross revenue Tronc receives from licensing the \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> content and brand or for syndication of its content internationally. Industry analyst Ken Doctor \u003ca href=\"https://www.thestreet.com/story/14281722/1/how-golden-is-ross-levinsohn-s-new-parachute.html\">called that language \"odd,\"\u003c/a> saying it was \"treating Levinsohn's work there almost as if he were an outside consultant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn is once more turning to old friends to help run the paper. He has installed Mickie Rosen, a former top deputy at Yahoo, as the paper's president. And the newspaper's new editor-in-chief is Lewis D'Vorkin, a former editor-in-chief at \u003cem>Forbes \u003c/em>magazine who worked at the \u003cem>Wall Street Journal,\u003c/em> the \u003cem>New York Times \u003c/em>and AOL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinsohn declared that he wanted the newspaper to own coverage of Hollywood, and it has sought to remain competitive on stories about sexual harassment allegations against prominent men in entertainment and media. The \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> broke stories about allegations of sexual assault by director James Toback and instances of alleged misconduct by actor James Franco, among others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D'Vorkin and Levinsohn upset many reporters in the newsroom last fall by failing to defend the paper's coverage publicly after meeting with Disney executives who condemned its stories documenting financial windfalls the company received from the City of Anaheim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D'Vorkin was also the founder of a digital news and commentary site called True/Slant, which paid prominent writers to contribute pieces while offering incentives based on how much traffic they generated. And other figures could pay the site to post articles there promoting their expertise or their products. Levinsohn's venture firm Fuse Capital was an investor in True/Slant and he served on its board until it was sold to \u003cem>Forbes,\u003c/em> which adopted a similar model featuring paid staffers, unpaid contributors and those who were paying for exposure on the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Levinsohn participated \u003ca href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4138426-tronc-trnc-presents-needham-and-co-20th-annual-growth-conference-slideshow\">in a presentation to investors\u003c/a> in which he appeared to anticipate the adoption of a related \"contributor\" model for the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times \u003c/em>and other Tronc properties: \"The approach allows us to be less dependent on the newsroom transformation as we pursue other growth opportunities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some at the \u003cem>L.A. Times\u003c/em> have questioned whether the paper's leadership is looking out for itself or the news. The paper's historic headquarters downtown no longer belongs to the paper or Tronc but to its former corporate sibling, Tribune Media. Levinsohn joined peers on the old Tribune Co. board in voting to give away the newspaper assets to the new television company. Last summer, Tribune Media sold the \u003cem>L.A. Times \u003c/em>printing plant for $120 million to a California developer and the downtown headquarters for $105 million to a Canadian developer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to six \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> journalists, the union drive has been propelled in part by related concerns over the commitment of the paper's leadership to its journalism and its financial soundness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this story was first posted, the organizing committee for the newsroom union released a statement for Levinsohn to resign or be fired immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are appalled by the findings in the NPR story,\" the statement reads. \"A man who sexually harasses women, engages in 'slut-shaming' and refers to gay men as 'fags' is not fit to lead our newspaper. Tronc and its board of directors must be held accountable for their failure to properly vet Levinsohn for one of the most important positions at the company and in American journalism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union demanded an independent investigation to examine the process by which Levinsohn was hired and whether he acted inappropriately toward colleagues at the newspaper during his tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department \u003ca href=\"http://nixle.us/9TFYK\">says it found\u003c/a> 12 of the teen's siblings inside, including \"several children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 13 siblings living at the home in Perris, officials say six were under the age of 18. The siblings ranged in age from 2 years old to 29, and the daughter who sought help was 17 — though when law enforcement officers met with her, \"she appeared to be only 10 years old and slightly emaciated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Deputies, when they arrived inside the house, noticed that the children were malnourished,\" Capt.

Authority allowing for the so-called DREAMers covered by the measure to remain in the country expires March 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president met with lawmakers for nearly an hour, and the session was unusual in that a small pool of reporters was allowed to remain for the duration, an apparent effort to rebut one of the premises of the best-selling book \u003cem>Fire and Fury: Inside The Trump White House\u003c/em>, which portrays the president as in over his head and possibly mentally unfit for office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"WVLfHQ9kIroTOKzLmetQqalJ7p7nTzp2\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump talked about how the current system in Congress doesn't lend itself to getting anything done. The president said there was so much anger and hostility in Congress that lawmakers should consider bringing back earmarks, the pork-barrel spending that GOP leaders outlawed, seen by many as one of the prime components of the \"swamp\" Trump campaigned against.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to what sort of immigration legislation he would approve, Trump said he was reliant on lawmakers, and that even if they produced legislation he wasn't \"in love with,\" he'd still support it. He also said he would take the heat for both Republicans and Democrats if they get criticism over a compromise immigration measure, adding that his \"whole life has been heat,\" and that to a certain extent he prefers it that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In remarks afterward, Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, threw cold water on the idea of a standalone DACA bill, saying Democrats have \"little faith\" that the measure will win approval unless it is attached to a must-pass bill. Schumer wants DACA legislation attached to a spending bill needed to keep the government open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conservative Club for Growth immediately criticized the possibility of again allowing special-interest earmarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Republicans bring back earmarks, then it virtually guarantees that they will lose the House,\" said the the group's president, David McIntosh. Earmarks are an issue John McCain campaigned on and against as the Republican nominee in the 2008 presidential election. He largely won the argument in Washington, leading to the practice's retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"TF1n6QycNdCr72Lx2ZHQdH6YGYvXdD2U\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also addressed the issue of a border wall with Mexico, saying the U.S. needs one \"in certain areas obviously that aren't protected by nature\" and where existing fences are in bad shape and need to be fixed or rebuilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump also said, \"There are large areas where you don't need a wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on the potential presidential candidacy of Oprah Winfrey, Trump said, \"Yeah, I'll beat Oprah. Oprah would be a lot of fun. I know her very well. You know I did one of her last shows.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"I like Oprah; I don't think she's gonna run.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of one of her last shows, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=66&v=vDGEbJ1VVQg\">this was\u003c/a> Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. on Winfrey's show in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDGEbJ1VVQg \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Authority allowing for the so-called DREAMers covered by the measure to remain in the country expires March 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president met with lawmakers for nearly an hour, and the session was unusual in that a small pool of reporters was allowed to remain for the duration, an apparent effort to rebut one of the premises of the best-selling book \u003cem>Fire and Fury: Inside The Trump White House\u003c/em>, which portrays the president as in over his head and possibly mentally unfit for office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump talked about how the current system in Congress doesn't lend itself to getting anything done. The president said there was so much anger and hostility in Congress that lawmakers should consider bringing back earmarks, the pork-barrel spending that GOP leaders outlawed, seen by many as one of the prime components of the \"swamp\" Trump campaigned against.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He also said he would take the heat for both Republicans and Democrats if they get criticism over a compromise immigration measure, adding that his \"whole life has been heat,\" and that to a certain extent he prefers it that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In remarks afterward, Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, threw cold water on the idea of a standalone DACA bill, saying Democrats have \"little faith\" that the measure will win approval unless it is attached to a must-pass bill. Schumer wants DACA legislation attached to a spending bill needed to keep the government open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conservative Club for Growth immediately criticized the possibility of again allowing special-interest earmarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Republicans bring back earmarks, then it virtually guarantees that they will lose the House,\" said the the group's president, David McIntosh. Earmarks are an issue John McCain campaigned on and against as the Republican nominee in the 2008 presidential election. He largely won the argument in Washington, leading to the practice's retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also addressed the issue of a border wall with Mexico, saying the U.S. needs one \"in certain areas obviously that aren't protected by nature\" and where existing fences are in bad shape and need to be fixed or rebuilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump also said, \"There are large areas where you don't need a wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on the potential presidential candidacy of Oprah Winfrey, Trump said, \"Yeah, I'll beat Oprah. Oprah would be a lot of fun. I know her very well. You know I did one of her last shows.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"I like Oprah; I don't think she's gonna run.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of one of her last shows, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=66&v=vDGEbJ1VVQg\">this was\u003c/a> Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. on Winfrey's show in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDGEbJ1VVQg \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.
