‘Stunning’: Testimony in hush money trial reveals how National Enquirer worked with Trump campaign

32 comments

1. Trump: And what is this “Trump Campaign” they keep talking about? I’ve never heard of it. If it exists, it has nothing to do with me.

2. It’s really a detailed plan of how to corrupt threw collusion in the 2016 presidential race.

   Trump has always been a con man

   Always

3. If you were “stunned” by this news, you’ve not been paying attention for the last 30 years. 

4. “Stunning” 🤔🤔🤔

   I’m willing to bet that approximately zero people will be stunned by this testimony.

5. What gets me, is that the news is treating this like it was news, but I knew about it from watching and reading the news, years ago — at least by the time Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018.

   Edited to add: I’m not saying they should cover it less now. I’m saying they should have covered it more, then.

   (typo edit)

6. Great, now do Fox.

7. Not stunning. We knew this while it was happening.

8. How was the 2016 presidential election a fair one?

9. How do we put a monetary amount on the in-kind election donation Pecker gave to Trump.

10. I don’t feel that stunned if I’m honest

11. Railing against fake news while actually creating their own genuine Fake News.

    Wild times, these last 9 years.

12. The Magats will cry fake news.

13. Ahhhaa….the source of “FAKE NEWS”…who would’ve thought…..

14. I mean this has been known. Didn’t need testimony to already know about David Pecker

15. Nice smarmy example of specifically how three old boys can network together to silence a woman, make her invisible and irrelevant.

16. So… Fake News?

17. How many times has Trump or a surrogate spouted “FAKE NEWS” ?

18. Trump just continues to make his supporters look like assholes.

    If they should be mad at anyone…

19. Just like Faux News.

20. Someone should let James Comer know about this.

    He loves to talk about bias in mainstream media.

    Maybe the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability can hold a hearing and ask about this collusion (which was admitted to under oath) between the Trump campaign and the National Enquirer.

21. I would have found somebody to pay me for that story rather than giving it out for free at court.

22. Holy shit! This guy Trump, he’s been lying all along!!!

23. sounds a bit like a “vast, right wing conspiracy” or something

    Sounds like somebody may have been right yet again

24. Does anyone believe the Trump Golden Showers story was fake now?

25. Ronan Farrow wrote a book about catch and k*ll. It involved Harvey Weinstein. This tactic is not new. The Enquirer is an evil piece of trash.

26. A lot of trump voters must get their news from this tabloid

27. This just ruined the National Enquirer’s sterling reputation of journalistic integrity.

28. This is old ass news. We all knew this going in. People didn’t care.

29. More to come.

30. Serious question – what happens if they do find Trump guilty? Is he a felon? Could a felon be president?

31. Didn’t we know this already?

32. Villains.
