Ronan Farrow's new book is a reminder of how silencing women helped Trump get elected
In the midst of an impeachment inquiry regarding President Trumps dealings with Ukraine, allegations about his extramarital affairs and the efforts by his associates to cover them up may seem like ancient history.
But in his new book, Catch and Kill, New Yorker reporter Ronan Farrow brings those allegations back to the fore. Perhaps the most startling new detail, first reported Monday by Politico: The week before the election, executives at the National Enquirer shredded documents about Trump theyd been keeping in a safe in their offices.
I need to get everything out of the safe, Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard told a staffer in November 2016, Farrow writes. And then we need to get a shredder down there.
Howard denies shredding documents, and a spokesperson for American Media Inc. (AMI), the Enquirers parent company, told Politico that Mr. Farrows narrative is driven by unsubstantiated allegations from questionable sources and while these stories may be dramatic, they are completely untrue.
