NEW YORK — Eight months before the company that owns the National Enquirer paid $150,000 to a former Playboy Playmate who claimed she’d had an affair with Donald Trump, the tabloid’s parent made a $30,000 payment to a less famous individual: a former doorman at one of the real estate mogul’s New York City buildings.
As it did with the ex-Playmate, the Enquirer signed the ex-doorman to a contract that effectively prevented him from going public with a juicy tale that might hurt Trump’s campaign for president.
The payout to the former Playmate, Karen McDougal, stayed a secret until the Wall Street Journal published a story about it days before Election Day. Since then curiosity about that deal has spawned intense media coverage and, this week, helped prompt the FBI to raid the hotel room and offices of Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
The story of the ex-doorman, Dino Sajudin, hasn’t been told until now.
The Associated Press confirmed the details of the Enquirer’s payment through a review of a confidential contract and interviews with dozens of current and former employees of the Enquirer and its parent company, American Media Inc. Sajudin got $30,000 in exchange for signing over the rights, “in perpetuity,” to a rumor he’d heard about Trump’s sex life — that the president had fathered an illegitimate child with an employee at Trump World Tower, a skyscraper he owns near the United Nations. The contract subjected Sajudin to a $1 million penalty if he disclosed either the rumor or the terms of the deal to anyone.

B F D !!
La times spiked a video of Obama.
Bill Clinton’s sexual adventures were notorious.
Hillary got away with setting up her Bimbo Eruption Team in the WH with tax dollars.
For eight years she did nothing by swat down innocent women who dared tell their story of BillyBoy’s wandering penis.
All of it contrived to save Hillary’s political ambitions.
The Obama Deep State media is the Enema !! ( A little Northeast lingo there)
I always thought that organizations like the Enquirer did that so they could have exclusive rights to the story if it became news or was determined to be true. Not to spike the story.
But Slick Willy was not a threat to their plans.
When the Enquirer pulls a story because it’s not true you know it is really not true.
It’s mentioned in the article that this is most likely why they made the payment. 30,000 is not much to them if it turns out to be true. As usual, the headlines are misleading.
In the article it is mentioned that the 30,000 is just to have the exclusive rights to this story from this source, if it turns out to bear fruit.

$30,000 dollar gamble. Maybe we should call it the “Trump lotto”.
100%
Wow! I have no idea how that doorman is going to come with the million dollars. Sounds like he's in serious trouble.
Yep that is an illegal campaign contribution by their logic.
No he is not, the freaks will chip in and he may even make a few bucks
This isn’t news. AP and Washington comPost couldn’t find any dirt on their little tin god Hussein for NINE YEARS. Nothing from his “college” years, his years in Indonesia, his mentor Frank Marshall Davis, his “amalgam” girlfriend in his ghost written book, nothing.
And at the end all for naught- Hilabeast is now a footnote in history

Also the Obama relationship with Nation of Islam. Use of foreign identity to get free college which is fraud.
Just one child?
