Chris Matthews, the former “Hardball” host, said he engaged in “inappropriate behavior” and said an accuser’s story was “very credible.”

“I didn’t argue about it, I didn’t deny it,” Matthews told Vanity Fair magazine over the weekend, referring to allegations from journalist Laura Bassett that she was harassed by Matthews, who departed the MSNBC show nearly two months ago.
