During the trial, Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo shed light on the National Enquirer's use of damaging stories to target Donald Trump's political opponents. These stories included accusations against Ben Carson and GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, as well as insinuations about a family connection to the JFK assassination.
Colangelo explained the Enquirer's practice of 'catch and kill,' where they would purchase damaging information to suppress it rather than publish it. This tactic was allegedly used to benefit Trump's candidacy by hiding negative stories.
