3. Lawrence once disclosed Trumps tax returns

From an anonymous source on his show without the approval of NBC. Trump wanted him fired and Lawrence retracted the story the following night.
However as Lawrence reported then, turns out to be basically what The NY Times recently disclosed. Lawrence went further and said that the loans from Deutsche Bank were underwritten by Russia. That part hasn’t come out yet.

To have his staff confirm the information, but the legal issues of not outing his source were apparently to big to fight against the president.
