On Wednesday, Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to a series of charges, including campaign finance violations that he said he committed at the direction of his former top client, then-candidate Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors say that in addition to the evidence presented by Cohen, they have reached a non-prosecution agreement with America Media Inc., parent company of the National Enquirer, who says that they worked “in concert” with the Trump campaign to squash stories featuring alleged Trump paramour former Playmate Karen McDougal.
On Thursday, NBC News reported that it has “confirmed” that Trump was the mysterious “third person” in the room during an August 2015 discussion between Cohen and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker about countering negative stories about Trump.
