Following the publication of a story by the Wall Street Journal regarding the agreement between Karen McDougal and American Media Inc. (AMI), it was revealed that AMI made amendments to the deal. According to statements made by Pecker, the CEO of AMI, a new lawyer representing McDougal contacted the company expressing her desire to modify the agreement in order to speak to the press.
Pecker further disclosed that Michael Cohen, a former attorney for President Trump, advised against amending the agreement. Cohen allegedly warned that such a move would not be in the best interest of Trump and that he would be displeased with the decision. Despite Cohen's recommendation, Pecker chose to proceed with the amendment as requested by McDougal.
The revelation sheds light on the intricate dynamics surrounding the agreement between McDougal, AMI, and the individuals involved. The decision to amend the deal, despite legal counsel advising against it, underscores the complexities of the situation and the various interests at play.
As the story continues to unfold, it raises questions about the motivations behind the agreement, the role of key figures such as Cohen, and the potential implications for all parties involved. The evolving nature of the situation highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in legal agreements and dealings of this nature.
