WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump was in the room during negotiations with National Enquirer publisher David Pecker over how the tabloid could assist in quashing negative stories, according to media reports.

Trump was also in the room for an August 2015 meeting that included his former attorney Michael Cohen and Pecker discussing how his tabloid company, American Media Inc., could potentially assist Trump in his bid for president, according to the Wall Street Journal, NBC News and CNN.

Federal prosecutors in New York on Wednesday publicly announced a nonprosecution agreement with the company and included that Pecker, through the agreement, admitted that he offered to "help deal with negative stories about that presidential candidate's relationships with women by, among other things, assisting the campaign in identifying such stories so they could be purchased and their publication avoided."
