National Enquirer Let Cohen Approve Stories

“During the presidential campaign, National Enquirer executives sent digital copies of the tabloid’s articles and cover images related to Donald Trump and his political opponents to Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen is in advance of publication, according to three people with knowledge of the matter — an unusual practice that speaks to the close relationship between Trump and David Pecker, chief executive of American Media Inc., the Enquirer’s parent company,” the Washington Post reports.

“Although the company strongly denies ever sharing such material before publication, these three individuals say the sharing of material continued after Trump took office.”
