During the ongoing legal proceedings, it has been revealed that Trump attorney Emil Bove is currently examining a meeting that took place in Los Angeles involving National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard, Karen McDougal, and Keith Davidson. This meeting was significant as it involved the vetting of McDougal's story.
Davidson has stated that he was aware that Howard would be reporting back to David Pecker, the head of AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer. Following the meeting, Davidson was initially informed that AMI was not interested in McDougal's story due to the lack of corroborating evidence.
