Def not the chair. OAN is very right wing. I would expect that if you try to give sound on this, then they will pull a “by the way, while I’ve got you here, would you mind talking about Hillary’s emails / Benghazi / joint fundraising committee / some other bullshit”. They don’t need the DNC in order to produce this story. I would politely decline and just say that we want to keep our fingerprints off of this one.

I received your contact information from Rep. Wasserman Schultz’s press person.

I am a political reporter for the cable news channel One America News.  Am working on negative story on Sen. Cruz.  When he was a practicing attorney, he defending a Chinese Tire company that had stolen trade secrets from an America tire company.  As a result, the American tire company went out of business.  The name of the CEO of the American company is Jordan Fischman, whom I have spoken to.

The question the story raises is…is this the sort of person you want as President—someone who defended a Chinese company that had stolen trade secrets against an American one that ended up out of business as a result.

Just need some kind of a comment from someone at the DNC raising the issue of the morals and ethics of someone who would do something like this.

The interview would be short three to five minutes, and it would need to be on camera.

We are located at 101 Constitution NW, just off Capitol Hill, so we can travel quickly to any location convenient for you.

Thank you!

Very respectfully,

—John
