Ex-NYT Reporter Blames Memory Lapse About Pornographer Donations On Epilepsy

Kurt Eichenwald, the former New York Times (and Portfolio) reporter who gave thousands of dollars to a child pornographer and didn't tell his editors, can explain everything.

Epilepsy.

Eichenwald will be a guest on NPR's All Things Considered tonight at 7 p.m. ET, where you can hear him tell interviewer David Folkenflik that severe seizures and headaches brought on by the disorder caused him to forget making payments of at least $3,100 to Justin Berry, a minor who had both appeared on and operated illegal kiddie-porn websites and served as a source for an Eichenwald-penned Times expose.
