Exposing the National Enquirer's Involvement in Trump's Catching Kill Stories
The National Enquirer engaged in catching kill stories by paying individuals like Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels for their stories of affairs with Trump but never publishing them. The Enquirer expected reimbursement for payments from the Trump camp which didn't happen in McDougal's case, leading to hesitation in further involvements. Michael Cohen, Trump's fixer, stepped in to pay Stormy Daniels, later reimbursed by Trump from the White House. Trump disguised these payments as legal services to Cohen, as indicated by prosecutors' records.
