There is zero evidence to suggest that Joe Scarborough had anything to do with the death of Lori Klausutis. But the story of Klausutis’s death has nevertheless haunted Scarborough over the years.

The founding partners named the firm after the Carlyle Hotel in New York City where Norris and Rubenstein had planned the new investment

business. Carlyle's 2001 investor conference took place on September 11, 2001. In the weeks following the meeting, it was reported that Shafiq bin Laden, a member of the Bin Laden family, had been the "guest of honor", and that they were investors in Carlyle managed funds.

Lou Gerstner, former chairman and CEO of IBM and Nabisco, replaced Frank Carlucci as chairman of Carlyle in January 2003. After graduating from Wyoming Seminary in 1948, Carlucci attended Princeton University, where he roomed with Donald Rumsfeld.

The following year, in August 2006, Carlyle and its Riverstone Holdings affiliate partnered with Goldman Sachs Capital Partners in the $27.5 billion (including assumed debt) acquisition of Kinder Morgan, one of the largest pipeline operators in the US. The buyout was backed by

Richard Kinder, the company's co-founder and a former president of Enron. Earlier that year, in January 2006, Carlyle together with Blackstone Group, AlpInvest Partners, Hellman & Friedman, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Thomas H. Lee Partners acquired Nielsen Company, the

global information and media company formerly known as VNU in an $8.9 billion buyout. Carlyle's connections with George H. W. Bush and his Secretary of State James Baker, both of whom had at times served as advisers to the firm. The movie quotes author Dan Briody, who claimed

that the Carlyle Group "gained" from the September 11 attacks because it owned military contractor United Defense. In The World According to Bush, William Karel interviewed Frank Carlucci to discuss the presence of Shafiq bin Laden, Osama bin Laden's estranged brother, at

Carlyle's annual investor conference while the September 11 attacks were occurring.

Opened in 1930, the hotel was designed in Art Deco style and was named after Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle. The Carlyle became known as "the New York White House" during the administration of President John F. Kennedy, who maintained an apartment on the 34th floor for the last

ten years of his life.[11] He stayed at the apartment in a well-publicized visit for a few days just prior to his inauguration in January 1961.[12] Marilyn Monroe was snuck in through the service entrance on East 77th Street The Carlyle was the last place John F. Kennedy Jr. ate

breakfast before departing on his ill-fated plane trip to Martha's Vineyard with his wife and her sister. In 1967, the hotel was purchased by a partnership of Jerome L. Greene, Norman L. Peck, and Peter Jay Sharp.[17] The hotel is the source of the name for The Carlyle Group,

as it was the location where that firm's founders first met in the mid-1980s. The hotel's Café Carlyle has featured a number of well-known jazz performers – notably George Feyer from 1955 to 1968, and Bobby Short from 1968 to 2004. Woody Allen and his jazz band have played

weekly at the café since 1996. the penthouse is known as the “J.F.K. Suite” in honor of the President who hosted Marilyn Monroe there.
Car man Henry Ford II (“Hank the Deuce”) and I-banker god Henry Kravis reportedly came afterward.

Those perks aside, it’s odd that Ms. Pritzker and her husband didn’t pick a suite at a family hotel like the midtown Grand Hyatt. After all, they don’t own the Carlyle.
Nevertheless, it will be the couple’s first hotel home. “It’s a wonderful place. We’re happy to be there,

happy it all worked out and eager to be in the city,” Mr. Vlock said. “That’s the whole story—honest.”
