Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen has revealed that American Media Inc. (AMI) would sometimes share covers with him before publication. Cohen stated that he would promptly show these covers to then-candidate Donald Trump.
Cohen's testimony suggests that Trump was aware of AMI's actions and their loyalty to him. Cohen specifically mentioned David Pecker, the CEO of AMI, as being actively involved in this process.
This revelation sheds light on the close relationship between Trump and AMI, raising questions about the extent of their collaboration. The fact that Trump was reportedly informed about the covers in advance indicates a level of coordination between the two parties.
AMI, known for its tabloid publications, has faced scrutiny in the past for its role in protecting Trump's image. The company's actions, as described by Cohen, further highlight the complex dynamics at play behind the scenes during Trump's presidential campaign.
Cohen's statement adds another layer to the ongoing investigations into Trump's ties with various media outlets and the extent to which they may have influenced public perception. The revelation of AMI's pre-publication communication with Cohen raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the manipulation of information for political gain.
As more details emerge from Cohen's testimony, the public is left to ponder the implications of these revelations and what they may reveal about the inner workings of Trump's inner circle and their relationships with media organizations.
