The Practice of Catch-and-Kill Journalism by Donald Trump

Donald Trump engaged in catch-and-kill journalism to suppress damaging stories by tabloid journalists during his 2016 presidential campaign. He paid for exclusive rights to stories and then buried them, diverting campaign funds for personal purposes. The Hush Money Trial in Manhattan involves allegations of payments to Stormy Daniels to maintain silence about an affair, implicating Trump and his lawyer in potential misuse of funds.
