Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's curious connection
Sam Nunberg and Michael Cohen recalled David Pecker meeting with Trump in 2015 in Trump Tower, where they talked about what the Enquirer/Epstein may have had on Prince Andrew and President Clinton, writes Emily Jane Fox.
In the months before he ran for president, she reports, Trump was in conversation with National Enquirer tabloid owner David Pecker about Jeffrey Epstein, a Trump acquaintance for many years -- and how a growing scandal over Epstein's sexual abuse could affect Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Trump said that Pecker had told him that the pictures of Clinton that Epstein had from his island were worse, recalls a former Trump Organization employee.
From Emily Jane Fox's piece for Vanity Fair, out one day after Epstein told a federal court he was not guilty on sex trafficking charges:
Read the restTrumps lawyer, Michael Cohen, who would later go to prison in part for his role in these hush money schemes, was in the room when Pecker sat down. Pecker, he later told me, used to send him articles and issues before they were published so that he and Trump could read them. After the meeting Trump called in Sam Nunberg, then a Trump Organization employee, who saw Pecker leaving Trumps office. Michael was sitting in there when I came in, and the issue of the National Enquirer with the pictures of Prince Andrew was on his desk, Nunberg recalled. He said not to tell anyone, but that Pecker had just been there and had brought the issue with him.
