Now that his same-party competitors are out of the running, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has been training his fire on his likely opponent in the general election: Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. But it's not just Hillary Trump has in his sights - it's her husband, too. After Trump accused former President Bill Clinton of rape in an interview with Fox News Wednesday night, decades-old allegations are back in the spotlight. The allegations concerning Bill's sexual conduct came from more than five different women, who all had a moment in the national media in the 1990s. Because Trump has made...

On Wednesday, Morning Joe continued the discussion of the Associated Press story involving the Justice Department's seizing the news organization's phone records. As the roundtable sought to sort through who in the administration knew what about the case, and when, Lisa Myers contended it that was unlikely such a "calculating" White House would have been involved in it — especially since it upset one of President Obama's most important constituencies: the press.

NBC News reporter Lisa Myers told MSNBC’s Luke Russert, fill-in host for Chuck Todd on The Day Rundown, that the trial of former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards is viewed as a waste of money by most residents of the Tar Heel State.

Newt Gingrich's refusal to discuss in detail his reported half-million dollar interest-free account at high end jeweler Tiffany has entered the next phase of the media cycle, having crossed from Sunday morning show questioning into the realm of late night comedy, and now, on this morning's Today, the fact-checking and follow-up on the political fallout. Comparing the political impact of the story to John Edwards' $400 haircuts, NBC News chief investigative correspondent Lisa Myers said reports of massive luxury spending--and the use of sweetheart deals unavailable to most consumers--may carry a significant political cost.

Lee's 'Levees' wins Polk Award
NEW YORK -- Spike Lee's HBO documentary on New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and an NBC News investigation into a U.S. Army contract on Tuesday were among the winners of the George Polk Awards for Journalism.
When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts was Lee and Sam Pollard's look at what happened to New Orleans in September 2005 and how the government mishandled the disaster. It appeared on HBO as a two-part series in 2006.
NBC's award goes to the "NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams," senior investigative correspondent Lisa Myers and producer Adam Ciralsky. The four-part series, which aired in September 2006, analyzed whether the U.S. Army awarded a $70 million contract for a rocket-propelled grenade defense system when a cheaper solution existed. Congress ordered an investigation following Myers' reports.
"Lisa and her team did incredible reporting, important reporting, on what the Army had allegedly failed to do," Nightly News executive producer John Reiss said. " 'Nightly' gave them the time they needed to tell the story right."
One of the reports clocked in at more than four minutes, which is a long time for a 22-minute newscast.
