During a recent trial, prosecutors presented an email exchange from January 2016 between Michael Cohen and executives at American Media Inc. (AMI), Barry Levine, and Dylan Howard. The email exchange shed light on the media company's strategy regarding coverage of then-candidate Donald Trump.
In the email, Levine mentioned the high demand for Trump-related content among readers and outlined a plan to repurpose existing material while adding new positive content about Trump. Cohen, in response, provided specific instructions for edits to the content being prepared by AMI.
