The firm that owns the National Enquirer has agreed to pay $187,500 to the FEC to settle complaints that it unlawfully aided Trump’s campaign in 2016 by suppressing the story of an actress who said she had a sexual relationship with Trump
Link Copied
AMI and its former chief, David Pecker, initially argued through attorneys that they acted as journalists in making the deal with McDougal. However, in 2018 the firm and Pecker entered into a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in New York, stipulating that the arrangement was intended to influence the 2016 presidential election.
The FEC also concluded that AMI and Pecker coordinated with the Trump campaign, because they had contact with Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, who assured the company that its expenses related to McDougal would be reimbursed.
