It turns out the National Enquirers decision to become a work for Trump, attacking his enemies and trying to silence women from his past, isnt paying off financially.
In fact, the Associated Press reports, The Enquirers privately held parent company, American Media Inc., lost $72 million for the year ending in March. The collapse comes despite AMI chairman David Peckers claims that the Enquirers heavy focus on Trump sells magazines, according to AP.
Pecker now finds himself deeply enmeshed in scandals and investigations, after the tabloid served as a conduit for Trumps presidential campaign, arranging payments for women who had affairs with the Republican.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Pecker and Dylan Howard, AMIs chief content officer, have received immunity from prosecutors who are investigating Trumps payoffs to the tabloid.

(46,182 posts)1. I thought David Pecker was all about business.
The loss of $72 million is not a good business status.

Thanks to whichever DUer who posted that the same parent company owned the NE and M&F. It's one of the few mag subs I've kept.
