New reports have surfaced claiming that a former doorman at a Trump property in New York was paid by the National Enquirer for the rights to a story he heard about the now-president having an illegitimate child with an employee in the 1980s. The reports echo the accusations from Karen McDougal, who was paid $150,000 by the National Enquirer for the rights to her story about an affair with Trump. Neither story was ever published. Whether or not the rumor is true, it importance as further evidence that the National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc., had a pattern of buying and then deading stories that could be damaging to Trump during his presidential campaign.
