During a recent inquiry, David Pecker, the CEO of AMI, was questioned about a Wall Street Journal article from November 2016. The article delved into Karen McDougal's agreement with AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer. The Journal raised concerns about Pecker's relationship with Donald Trump during that period, just days before the 2016 election.
Pecker revealed that he had a conversation with Trump the day after the article was published. Trump expressed his dismay, questioning how such a situation could arise and stating, 'I thought you had this under control.' Pecker further disclosed that Trump accused either him or one of his associates of leaking the story.
