The enquirer

Former National Enquirer editor Jerry George is suggesting that President Donald Trump‘s children have secretly been involved in actions that could amount to “criminal activity.” In light of the recent bombshells surrounding the Enquirer and Michael Cohen, George has been making the media rounds, discussing how his old boss, David Pecker, frequently gave Trump editorial control over the tabloid. “[Pecker] sold his editorial soul for access to Trumpworld,” George said. “And in doing so, he got closer to the real power of the campaign.” George claimed that Pecker used his relationship with Trump to collect “bargaining chips” about the president’s associates and Jared Kushner. “David got close to the Trump pals, including Saudi money and Jared Kushner‘s banking friends. So he ultimately gathered some bargaining chips that he planned to use in time to get something he needed.” This prompted MSNBC host Ari … [Read more...] about WATCH: Ex-National Enquirer Editor Suggests Jared and Ivanka Were Involved in ‘Criminal Activity’

NBC News has confirmed the Wall Street Journal‘s report that President Donald Trump was the third person present when his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen met with National Enquirer publisher David Pecker to plan how to conceal the then-candidate’s extramarital relations. The NBC report detailed how Trump met with Cohen and Pecker, who is also CEO of the Enquirer‘s parent company American Media Inc., in August 2015. “Pecker offered to help deal with negative stories about that presidential candidate’s relationships with women by, among other things, assisting the campaign in identifying such stories so they could be purchased and their publication avoided,” American Media Inc. admitted in a their “Statement of Admitted Facts” related to the $150,000 hush payout to former Karen McDougal. Following the three year prison sentence handed down to Cohen for his role in the scheme, Trump took to Twitter to allege … [Read more...] about Trump Was Reportedly in the Room During Cohen-AMI Hush Money Meeting

In light of recent news about National Enquirer‘s involvement with Donald Trump‘s cover-up efforts for his extramarital affairs, why don’t we remind ourselves about the time when the president wrote for the tabloid to promote his 2016 campaign? Shortly after Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, he wrote a column for the Enquirer to make his argument that America has become a “whipping post” for the rest of the world and that Barack Obama‘s presidency “left us a total economic disaster.” He also offered an early version of his now-frequent talking point that voters are attracted to him for not being a conventional political figure. “It’s quite a departure from the usual office-seeking pols. The voters will find me refreshing. And I guarantee you one thing: They’ll find me interesting. I am going to talk straight about taxes, social security, health care, our foreign policy and terrorism. Get ready for facts and answers … [Read more...] about Remembering When Donald Trump Wrote For the National Enquirer: ‘Voters Will Find me Refreshing’

During an interview with Erin Burnett on Wednesday, former National Enquirer Los Angeles Bureau Chief Jerry George said Donald Trump did indeed wield considerable power at National Enquirer and was, as others have suggested, a “silent editor” who could nix a story he did not like. “Let’s be clear. You worked there for 28 years. David Pecker was a friend of Donald Trump’s,” the Outfront host probed. She then noted claims that Trump was essentially a silent editor. “That’s true,” George said. He then said this: “David Pecker had given the Trump Organization free rein to dictate the coverage, and of course, you know, cover up any unflattering stories about the candidate during the election.” Burnett then probed further if there were other, yet to be unearthed, catch and release payments. “There are other instances of this involving other women,” George replied. “And there’s also the Saudi … [Read more...] about Fmr National Enquirer Editor: David Pecker Gave Trump Org ‘Free Rein’ to ‘Dictate the Coverage’

National Enquirer former executive editor Barry Levine is penning a book about Donald Trump and his women, according to Page Six.  Levine left the Enquirer in 2016 but likely still has some juicy Trump tidbits. He may also dish some dirt on Enquirer’s own David Pecker.  Page Six reports: A source says that the book will look into “Trump and his women,” although other insiders tell us that it could be more wide-ranging, even looking at the formerly cozy relationship between the Enquirer’s owner, David Pecker, and Trump. That said, it’s unclear exactly what Levine’s contract with the Enquirer would allow him to reveal about Pecker. Pecker and the National Enquirer’s relationship with Trump came to the forefront due to the investigation of hush money payouts to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. Back in July, Pecker was granted immunity in exchange for his testimony in that probe. Levine has a history of writing … [Read more...] about Former National Enquirer Editor Reportedly Penning Book About ‘Trump and His Women’
