Conflict of interest? New report reveals NBC's Chuck Todd was Democrat Amy Klobuchar's landlord

NBC's Chuck Todd helped moderate Wednesday night's debate despite having once had a financial relationship with one of the Democratic candidates on stage. According to the New York Post's Page Six, Todd was once Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar's landlord in Virginia.

According to the Post's report, Klobuchar and her husband, attorney John Bessler, once rented a three-bedroom home from Todd in Arlington, an affluent city located near Washington, D.C.

A source told the Post that although the couple began renting the house from Todd in 2008, they no longer live at the residence, and it is unclear when they moved out.

'$3,200/month'

A 2008 report by the Star Tribune said that Klobuchar and her husband rented the house for "$3,200/month, plus utilities." The Star Tribune noted that, "Before moving in May to provide more room for 'visiting grandparents,' Klobuchar and her family rented a two-bedroom apartment in northern Virginia for $2,800 a month."

At a rate of $3,200 per month, it means that, presumably, Klobuchar and Bessler paid Todd up to $38,400 per year.

The article also stated that the couple kept their home in Minnesota, but that she would commute to Washington on weekdays for work. According to online listings of the home, it has 3.5 bathrooms and is approximately 3,000 square feet. It is unclear if Todd still owns the house.

'Not disclosed publicly'

Although D.C. insiders were aware that Klobuchar was Todd's tenant — including while appearing on his various television shows — a source told the Post that their financial relationship had not been publicly disclosed.

The Post contacted NBC and Klobuchar for comment, but neither have responded to media inquiries.
