More on: National Enquirer

The podcast episodes provided discuss the National Enquirer's role in the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump, particularly its involvement in a 'catch and kill' scheme to suppress damaging stories about Trump's affair with Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.

The episodes detail how the National Enquirer, under the direction of its parent company AMI and its CEO David Pecker, coordinated with Trump's campaign to bury stories that could have hurt his chances of winning the presidency. This included paying hush money to Stormy Daniels and other women to keep their stories from becoming public.

The episodes also explore the broader implications of the National Enquirer's unethical practices, including the impact on media ethics, the rule of law, and the integrity of the 2016 election. Several episodes feature first-hand accounts from former National Enquirer employees, as well as legal analysis of the criminal case against Trump.
