The Federal Election Commission on Tuesday said it had fined the publisher of the National Enquirer for its role in a"hush-money" payment made to quiet a woman who alleged an affair with former President Donald Trump during the 2016 election cycle, according to documents made public by Common Cause, a watchdog group.
The $187,500 fine came after the commission found that American Media Inc., whose successor is A360 Media, LLC, made an illegal corporate campaign contribution by paying $150,000 during Trump's first presidential campaign to prevent former Playboy model Karen McDougal from going public with her claims of an affair. Trump has denied the affair.A spokesman for A360 Media did not immediately comment.
The FEC should be suing TRUMP for attempting to mess with the outcome of the 2020 Election along with all the LIES Trump has said about the votes. Of course they'd have to get in line...take a number the line forms at the rear!

National Enquirer owner fined for illegal Trump campaign aidA federal election watchdog fined the publisher of the National Enquirer $187,500 for squelching the story of a former Playboy model who claimed she'd had an affair with former President Donald Trump. The Federal Election Commission fined A360 Media, formerly known as American Media, for paying Karen McDougal $150,000 in August 2016, saying the payment was made to keep her story from becoming public before the presidential election. The FEC said the publisher's “payment to Karen McDougal to purchase a limited life story right combined with its decision not to publish the story, in consultation with an agent of Donald J. Trump and for the purpose of influencing the election, constituted a prohibited corporate in-kind contribution.” When CONMAN goes to 'heaven' the Cult will wait for his resurrection...deranged bunch😕🤣 Great. Now let’s do Hunter. didn't we know this years ago? Wait till you hear what Clinton's did to squelch stories or how Gates bought media & Technopoly is censoring anything that goes against Great Reset agenda.
