Trump-Allied National Enquirer Turns on Michael Cohen: ‘Secrets & Lies!’

The National Enquirer has taken a swing at President Donald Trump‘s embattled attorney, Michael Cohen.

The tabloid has long had a reputation of serving as Trump’s media fixer, running salacious headlines such as “Hillary Framed Trump Family!” and “Proof! FBI Plot to Impeach Trump!” however, it is the first time it has turned on Trump’s legal fixer, Cohen.

The publication’s parent company, American Media Inc., run by Trump-pal David Pecker, is also currently being sued by Playboy model Karen McDougal. She claims that AMI offered to buy the story of her alleged affair with Trump for $150,000, to then not publish it — known as a catch and kill agreement.

The headline of the Enquirer’s latest cover, which reads “Trump Fixer’s Secrets and Lies!” also comes in the wake of Trump attempting to distance himself from his longtime attorney.

Speaking on Fox and Friends, Trump said Cohen, who is embroiled in a controversy and his own legal woes centered around his payoff to former porn star and one-time Trump companion Stormy Daniels, did only “a tiny, tiny little fraction” of his legal work.

He added, he thinks Cohen did “absolutely nothing wrong. There were no campaign funds going into this, which would have been a problem.”

The National Enquirer headline, however, tells a much different story, making it clear that Cohen’s “payoffs and threats” have been exposed and smearing the man that once said he would take a bullet for his friend, Trump.
