Disgraced political pundit Mark Halperin reportedly threatened MSNBC network chief Phil Griffin for refusing to help him resurrect his career.

Halperin, 54, who is nearly two years removed from being accused of sexual misconduct by numerous women, was allegedly trying to restart his career with the stars of Morning Joe, but the network nixed the idea. Speaking with his former boss, Halperin allegedly began “dishing vague threats,” according to the Daily Beast. Griffin was also “furious about the conversation.”
