Former National Equirer editor claims the tabloid has unpublished ‘embarrassing’ and ‘criminal’ stories on Trump family

Snip:

“Do you have reason to believe Mr. Pecker knew other incriminating things about Trump that have not come out?” Melber asked.

“Yes, certainly,” he replied.

“Do you know what any of them are?” Melber asked.

“I know some of them and there are stories involving, of course, the Trump-Kushner family, there are stories of, you know, sibling rivalry with the children, back-biting, discord with his wife,” he explained.

and nothing similar about Trump?

How much did that cost?

Could be a bigger campaign finance issue on killing Trump stories or launching dirt on Hillary for $ than has been declared.

And then the MBS link ... ?

Makes you wonder how Trump can sleep with all this stuff burning down around him.

Not a lawyer for sure, but doesn't libel require malicious intent and knowledge that the stories are false? Don't these stories meet that standard? She wouldn't sue but seems like she would have a case.
