    Does not matter to the party of the morality and God. MAGA and Fake News is the expected response.

    Donald Trump Rumored To Father 6th Child, ‘National Enquirer’ Paid To Cover It Up In 2016, AP Report Says

    A new report by the Associated Press and 'The New Yorker' says that Donald Trump possibly fathered a sixth child, this one out of wedlock, and his friends at 'The National Enquirer' paid to cover up the story before the 2016 election.

    An explosive new report from two major news outlets on Thursday says that the National Enquirer paid a New York City doorman $30,000 during the 2016 presidential campaign to keep quiet about a rumor that Donald Trump had fathered an out-of-wedlock child with a woman who worked in the building — Trump World Tower, a skyscraper near the United Nations building in Manhattan.

    The Associated Press wrote that its reporters could not confirm that the rumor of the child was true — but more importantly, the AP was able to confirm that the doorman who then worked in Trump World Tower, Dino Sajudin, received the $30,000 payment from the tabloid in exchange for signing an agreement that he would never discuss the rumor. In a provision similar to the silence agreement signed by adult video star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump, Sajudin’s deal required that he pay a penalty of $1 million if he violated the “hush” provision about the Trump rumor.

    The New Yorker magazine also published a story about the payment to Sajudin on Thursday — also reporting that it could not confirm whether or not Trump did, in fact, father a “love child” with the female Trump World Tower employee, while at the same time confirming that the National Enquirer made the $30,000 payment to Sajudin.

    The tabloid’s owner, David Pecker, is a close friend of Trump’s and the nationally circulated paper frequently published wild stories attacking Trump’s opponents and enemies during the 2016 campaign.

    A few of the Enquirer‘s front page stories attacking Trump’s perceived enemies may be viewed by clicking on this link.

    Federal investigators are now probing the tabloid’s activities during the election, to learn whether the tabloid was actually acting as an arm of the Trump campaign, according to a Wednesday report by The New York Times. If prosecutors determine that the paper was indeed operating on behalf of the Trump 2016 presidential campaign, or Trump’s current 2020 campaign, both the Enquirer and the campaign could be on the hook for serious violations election finance laws.

    In Monday’s raids on the office, home and hotel room of Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney and self-proclaimed “fix-it guy”investigators were looking for records of communication between Cohen and Pecker, the Times reported. The two are reported to have been in contact over another “hush” payment made by the National Enquirer — to former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal who, like Stormy Daniels, says that she had a sexual relationship with Trump.

    McDougal was paid $150,000 by the Enquirer to keep her mouth shut about the Trump affair, and is now suing to be released from that silence agreement.

    “This is about the most powerful people in the country having the ability to silence and change the news narrative at will,” Farrow said in the interview. “I think the public should know that.”

    Farrow added that with the “doorman” payoff reporting following in the heels of the McDougal and Daniels payoffs, “this establishes a pattern now.”

    Farrow, in his New Yorker article, wrote that he contacted the woman rumored to be Trump’s daughter, but “she declined through a representative of her employer to answer questions.” Farrow also said that the mother of the alleged Trump daughter refused comment.

    “I spoke with the father of the family, who said that Sajudin’s claim was ‘completely false and ridiculous,'” Farrow continued, writing that the man complained “that the Enquirer had put the family in a difficult situation.”

    Maybe trump should take a lesson from Paul Ryan and take time off to spend more time with what now appears to be a growing number of his children?

    So that is the reason why there is a paternity clause in Stormy's NDA, LOL. Will his kids get something from him?

    The payment looks to be a fact.

    The illegitimate child theory of course is unproven. Still paying that amount of money to suppress wild claims is where the scandal is from a campaign finance and other potential laws that might be broken.

    Regardless though ... if it’s such a wild theory then why was he getting paid off? If I start a theory that Trump killed JFK as a child will the national enquirer, AMI, or Michael Cohen send me 50k and an NDA?

    Agree. The payment looks legit. The b*stard child thing still needs some evidence -- which I'm sure plenty of journalists are scrambling to provide. Trump appears to be immune to sex scandals. It will be interesting to see how people react to an illegitimate child, especially if she wasn't provided for the way you'd expect the child of a billionaire to be provided for.

    But assuming Farrow found the right person as the love-child, it's pretty shitty for them to have journalists dig this crap up. Probably this daughter never signed an NDA, so she hasn't spoken up because she doesn't want her paternity known. Neither do her parents want it. Their privacy, regrettably, will not be respected.

    It's possible that the child doesn't know. They'll discover that Trump is their father and go "So THAT'S why I'm addicted to spray tan! It's not me mom, it's my genetics!"

    Maybe you have it completely wrong and many Republicans are not about morality and god but less government
    and lower taxes.

    I think Trump shows that these stereotypes of republicans as moral high ground, religious nuts is just off base.
    In fact i get more sanctimonious talking down to about morality by the left than anyone now days.

    My how the shoe is on the other foot.

    What's funny is you think the left is who put that stereotype on the right. It's been Republicans who have run on family values. Republicans have built a party around the "values voter" for decades and now you want to say those are "stereotypes" and mock the left?

    I think the only people who were "completely wrong" about Republicans with regards to "morality and god" were actually Republicans. Democrats laughed for years and said that was nonsense.

    I always thought of Trump back in the day when I watched Mr. Deeds but not the illegitimate child from the housekeeper.

    Our lives have become one big Adam Sandler movie... just not funny at all (not that Sandler movies are funny after you turn 15).
