Melania Trump’s former spokesperson claimed former White House communications director Hope Hicks and former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders would regularly check in with the then-first lady to see how she was dealing with the rumors of Donald Trump’s alleged affair with Playboy model Karen McDougal.
Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker testified in a case involving alleged hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels. He shed some light on a joint call he had with Hicks and Sanders about a “catch-and-kill” contract given to McDougal and whether they should extend the deal further.
“Both of them said that they thought it was a good idea,” Pecker told the court.
The outlet ultimately did not extend the contract. However, they allegedly settled a lawsuit that McDougal filed against them to get her lifetime rights back.
McDougal was reportedly paid $150,000 for her allegation of an affair with Trump, which the former president denies to this day.
Stephanie Grisham, the former first lady’s ex-spokesperson, clarified that she was kept in the dark about any financial arrangements related to the rumors surrounding McDougal and the National Enquirer.
“Funny, they’d call me a lot to find out how MT was reacting to all the Clifford/McDougal news, but didn’t bother to share any of this info w me,” Grisham wrote on X.
“A couple of times I came close to telling Mrs. Trump about the president’s behavior. I thought that if she would say one little word to him about it, she could make it stop. But I could never bring myself to say anything,” Grisham wrote in her book, I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in The White House, adding she ultimately decided against telling the former FLOTUS. “Maybe it wasn’t my place or any of my business.”
Trump faces 34 felony challenges for an alleged $130,000 payment to Daniels, made during the 2016 campaign, to keep her quiet about her allegation of an affair.
Pecker said he put his foot down when it came to Daniels’ claims – telling the jurors, “I am not paying for this story.”
The former publisher was allegedly $180,000 in the hole on other Trump-related stories when the Daniels story came along.
Pecker testified that the then-president asked him for an update on McDougal as they were heading over to have dinner with Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and press adviser Sean Spicer.
He recalled the GOP leader asking, “How’s Karen doing?” as they walked past the Rose Garden from the Oval Office to the dining room. “I said she´s doing well, she´s quiet, everything´s going good,” Pecker testified.
To the author. Quit using the term ‘hush money’ you maggot.
It’s an NDA, and they are very common. get it right
NDA??????? Bwhahahahahaha Sex workers have none. Trump is a pig with a mushroom. He has to ay for sex. I love how all the guys who support him are so willing to be as irresponsible as he is. Moscow calls.
People deserve to have exclusive relations with their significant others.
However, mutually agreeing for payment, for something that may not have even happened, is completely different than unwanted groping or flashing.
“9/03/2020 – A Secret Service agent was suspended for a week in 2009 for shoving then-Vice President Joe Biden after he cupped his girlfriend’s breast while the couple was taking a photo with him.
The situation got so heated, a source who was a Secret Service agent at the time told TGP, that others had to step in to prevent the agent from hitting the then-Vice President.
The agent asserted that, “we had to cancel the VP Christmas get together at the Vice President’s house because Biden would grope all of our wives and girlfriend’s asses.” The annual party was for agents and Navy personnel who were tasked with protecting the Biden family.”
“4/02/2019 – It’s not okay that Harvey Weinstein did it. It’s not okay that Charlie Rose did it. But when we learned in 2014 that then-Vice President Joe Biden exposed his naked body to women in the Secret Service, the media didn’t care.
In his New York Times best-seller, The First Family Detail, award-winning investigative reporter Ronald Kessler revealed that “Biden has a habit of swimming in his pool nude. Female Secret Service agents find that offensive.”
“6/13/2023 – In a January 2019 diary entry, Ashley Biden recalled how she used to shower with her father, Joe Biden, and suggested it may have contributed to a sex addiction.”
Hearsay accusations about Trump are covered by the mockingbird media.
Yet provable incidents by Biden are ignored by the mockingbird media.
Let’s keep it fair.
