American Media, Inc. and the National Enquirer shredded sensitive Donald Trump-related documents that had been held in a top-secret safe right before Trump was elected in 2016, according to fresh allegations made in a new book by journalist Ronan Farrow
.
The safe, which often got jammed, had sat for years in an office that belonged to the Enquirer’s then-longtime executive editor, Barry Levine. When the material came to the AMI headquarters, it was first put into the small safe. Then, as the scandal around the magazine’s close relationship with Trump deepened, it was placed into a bigger safe in the office of AMI’s head of human resources, Daniel Rotstein.
Asked for comment, Howard attorney Paul Tweed said: “We have advised Mr. Howard to make no further comment at this stage, while all legal options and jurisdictions are being considered.” Trump had a decades-long close relationship with AMI CEO David Pecker and in turn, Pecker and the Enquirer protected Trump from his own misdeeds with a tabloid practice called “catch and kill” in which the Enquirer bought up embarrassing stories involving Trump and then wouldn’t publish them.
