During the recent legal proceedings, Trump attorney Todd Blanche shed light on the 2015 Trump Tower meeting involving David Pecker, the former CEO of American Media Inc., the parent company of the National Enquirer. Blanche highlighted that Pecker had agreed to publish favorable stories about Trump while also launching attacks on his opponents.
Blanche emphasized that this practice was not new, stating that AMI had been engaging in such activities for decades. He further pointed out that AMI had been providing similar services for President Trump since the 1990s, indicating a long-standing relationship based on mutual benefit.
According to Blanche, this arrangement was viewed as good business by AMI, establishing a pattern of fostering mutually beneficial relationships with celebrities. The acknowledgment of this ongoing dynamic sheds light on the intricate relationships between media entities and public figures, particularly in the realm of celebrity endorsements and public image management.
