    AP: National Enquirer's safe held damaging Trump stories

    The Aug. 21, 2018 plea deal reached by Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen has laid bare a relationship between the president and Pecker, whose company publishes the National Enquirer. Besides detailing tabloid's involvement in payoffs to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal to keep quiet about alleged affairs with Trump, court papers showed how David Pecker, a longtime friend of the president, offered to help Trump stave off negative stories during the 2016 campaign.

    Several people familiar with the National Enquirer's parent company, American Media Inc., who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because they signed non-disclosure agreements, said the safe was a great source of power for Pecker, the company's CEO.

    The Trump records were stored alongside similar documents pertaining to other celebrities' catch-and-kill deals, in which exclusive rights to people's stories were bought with no intention of publishing to keep them out of the news. By keeping celebrities' embarrassing secrets, the company was able to ingratiate itself with them and ask for favors in return.

    Everywhere you look Trump is associated with criminals.

    "Yawn"... Of course these documents will probably never see the light of day.

    OH WAIT, they have them! They are waiting for the ink to dry.

    Unsavory, mayhap, but "criminal"?? This kind of thing's been going on since the days of Drew Pearson, Louella Parsons, and Hedda Hopper.

    Nothing spectacular here. I am sure many politicians of both political parties have such alliances. Look, Bill Clinton sold out the country to the Chinese in return for cash, as he and his wife also did recently to the Russians. Why is Trump getting all the scrutiny and the Clintons nothing?
