david pecker. >> it's a perfect marriage. it is a marriage made in tabloid heaven. >> i think the game plan was for the "national enquirer" to serve as an unofficial propaganda outlet for president trump. >> but the enquirer made headlines of its own when it went after jeff bezos. >> this is extortion. it is crime. >> "national enquirer" is in the shame business. >> when we look back at the history of the "national enquirer," we will look at this moment as the point at which the "national enquirer" began to have a profound influence on american politics. >> the "national enquirer" headlines exposed the rich and famous for years. >> the prose is purple and it is sizzling by design. >> they have broken some serious stories that have affected people in the public eye. >> the tabloids seem to have a blind spot when it came to donald trump. by the time we got to 2015. and he was running for president. "national enquirer" became very pertinent to endorse candidate trump as it never endorsed a candidate before. it went after his cri

i think david pecker is one of these characters. >> during the 2016 campaign, pecker appealed to trump supporters by highlighting positive stories about their candidate on the enquirer's pages and making sure they didn't see any negative words. >> he is getting the stories that would make donald trump look bad, and he is essentially and quite literally putting those stories in a vault. >> including one from a woman who alleged she had an affair with the future president. >> karen mcdougal, former playboy model had a relationship with trump allegedly. >> had a story about an extramarital affair come out, it would have been damaging to the trump campaign. >> although the white house denied the affair, ami would admit to paying mcdougal $150,000. >> in tabloid journalism, the practice has a name, catch and kill. >> catch and kill in journalism is the concept that you would buy a story from someone and then own its rights so that you could choose to publish it or in the case of the "national enquirer," you would choose to not publish it. >> the president's former lawyer and fixer, michael

up and now david pecker has immunity?about hope hicks? "the journal" is reporting she was questioned as was keith schiller. ami has the nonprosecution agreement, don't commit any crimes and it will be fine. cnn is reporting jeff bezos will talk to prosecutors as soon as some time this week. they are reportedly investigating whether ami extorted jeff bezos, extortion is a crime, running stories about his extramarital affair in the "national enquirer" to punish him for how his newspaper "the washington post" has covered the murder of jamal khashoggi and saudi arabia's apparent complicity in that murder. sdny is looking at whether ami might have been doing the bidding of saudi arabia in going after bezos on their behalf. so ami already has these federal prosecutors up in their grill over the hush money scheme, right? they had to admit their role in it in order to get their non-prosecution agreement, which they only continue to benefit from, as long as they don't commit any more crimes. now prosecutors are reportedly asking w

, which was enough to force -- >> and david pecker got immunity in exchange for cooperation. allen weisselberg got immunity in connection with his cooperation. how much of a threat is all of this to the president? >> look, i think people around the president are very much more worried about what the southern district of new york is up to than about anything that might come from the mueller report. this has always been the thing that worried him. wolf, if you think about this, as far as investigations have gone, the southern district of new york, manhattan prosecutors are the only ones that landed a punch on the president so far. they basically called him an unindicted co-conspirator in not so many words in the michael cohen plea document. i think that's the reason they're concerned and i think they believe this is going to go through the end of donald trump's presidency. >> individual number one. >> and that investigation is on-going. >> certainly is. everybody stick around. house democrats, deadline arriving for president trump to turn over his tax returns, a deadline he vow

why is the head of security calling david pecker.also possess a recorded phone conversation between mr. trump's former lawyer michael cohen who we know said he had lots of reported conversations and the lawyer who represented the two women. so what is said on there? what were they negotiating? i think it's also interesting that hope hicks and keith schiller both of whom the president very much liked and wanted to keep around him in the white house are both gone, they both left, against the president's wishes. so now you can see a little bit more about them having to protect themselves. >> i think the circle of knowledge is going to expand here. this kind of transaction is a complex transaction, it involved a lot of different people and a lot of different layers within the president's orbit and i think we're going to see that. i want to hear that tape. that tape something that jumps out at me. you can cross-examine a witness all you want, you can say you are not telling the truth, but a tape is a tape. smart defense lawyers one of the

let me provide political context here because as you know david pecker, close friend of president trumpo of the company at ami, it was pecker and the company that struck inmuinty deal a few months ago admitting they were trying to influence the 2016 campaign by paying with former playboy model karen mcdoodle and made sure that the story never got out, part of immunity deal they can't break the law or they could be prosecuted for the first thing and then along comes the bezos controversy. >> right, one of the things people are talking about if you buy the national inquirer, the stories were over here. now legitimate question at cnn. howie, two things come to mind. in some way all the books help it is sale but also really bad stench for this thing. i kind of wonder who really wants to buy this? >> it's very mirky, ron, california's super market magnet, friend of bill clinton was in talks to buy it and now we are not buying it, we were never in any talks. >> david pecker and becker are long-time friends. national enquirer is sold, makes sense are sold in super markets. listen, a hard sell.

this meeting has big implications for that publisher, trump ally david pecker.t to bring in cnn crime and justice reporter shimon prokupecz to talk about this. so could pecker lose that immunity deal that he had for cooperating with the government in the investigation of hush money payments to keep a former "playboy" model from going public about her affair with trump? >> he certainly can, and that's what the prosecutors here in new york at the southern district of new york, which has been investigating the hush money payments, and other trump issues, they could very much, if they decide that pecker and ami, national enquirer here, violated the nonprosecution agreement, that is, if they did engage in activity that the prosecutors said they needed to stop, they could lose it. they could lose that and they could -- charges could be brought against them in the hush money payments. >> does that mean we might learn about the president's involvement in hush money payments. >> we can certainly learn more about it. we know a lot already when you think about what we've s

who people always by trump's side and we know they have talked to national enquirer david pecker anderg, chief financial officer, all of whom intimately involved with these payments. shimon peres is out front. now we know hicks and schiller very interviewed. what does that tell you about how broad this now is? >> it's much broader than we anticipated or thought it was. the fact that they're going deeper into the folks who were the closest to the president during the campaign certainly and into the white house, when you think about hope hicks, she was very close to him. she helped craft many of the statements, many of the public responses, so you can see why prosecutors would want to talk to her. on the schiller side, it's very interesting. it's really the first time that we're hearing that federal investigators were talking to him. there has been a lot of questions around him. his thing is he also was very close to the president. a lot of phone calls sometimes, you wanted to get in touch with the president or donald trump during the campaign, you'd have to no through schiller. so you

the very least they were interested in both hope hicks and keith shiler's communications with david peckerr. >> and a close friend of the president. >> exactly. >> a long relationship. >> what this tells us is that the investigation went much deep near trump's inner circle than we realized. hope hicks and keith schiller worked with him for a long time so it shows us the lengths prosecutors went to build this case. >> is it clear whether any of the information provided in the interviews backed one michael cohen, what he is saying? >> one thing we do know is that they were interested in keith s cnnhiller becau cnnschiller, they wanted to know if he was handing the phone off to trump. they were interested in sort of that connection with trump. >> when i interviewed karen macdougall, she is claiming a 10 month long relationship. she'd call keith schiller to pass messages to get to then donald trump as a citizen. >> right, keith schiller would know about a lot. he was with trump, physically there with him for a lot of meetings and conversations i'm sure would be of interest to investigators. >>

but the key issue for both, their contacts with david pecker, the ceo of american media the publisher of the "national enquirer." and reminder american media paid $150,000 to suppress a story about an alleged affair between trump and karen mcdougal. so i say that to set it up to get everyone up to speed. harry, how significant is this? >> pretty significant. now the big thing to remember is there is already a crime here. cohen pleaded guilty to it. the feds alleged it and the court accepted it. and the crime involves individual one. that is the president. and it stands to reason that there is -- that hope hicks and keith schiller might have had involvement and you have an aggressive prosecutor and it is one thing that they won't indict trump, that is the policy, but other people may well have been involved and they could get to the bottom of it and even try to get to the bottom of what trump knew and when he knew it even if they're not going to indict him. so it showed they are dogged on the trail, not going away and pursuing not just hope hicks and schiller, but other leads as well.

then possibly helped prosecutors leverage the information to put pressure on american media and david pecker, the publisher. pecker had an immunity agreement and testified before the grand jury in the investigation of michael cohen, and ami had reached a non-prosecution agreement. so these two individuals who know a lot about the relationship could have helped investigators leverage american media, which ultimately led to michael cohen pleading guilty. >> cara, thank you for that report. >>> now, health care is the issue that americans say that they care the most about. moments ago democrats, including bernie sanders, unveiled a plan that would change how a lot of people get their health care. >>> plus, all eyes on the irs as the democrats' deadline to get the president's tax returns arrives. >>> and benjamin netanyahu on the cusp of possibly winning a fifth term to lead israel. did president trump tip the scales? ther than worry about how to pay for long-term care. brighthouse smartcare℠ is a hybrid life insurance and long-term care product. it protects your family while providing long-term

the company's ceo david pecker, he's offloading the tabloid.the "washington post" it is partly due to pressure from the hedge fund that has a controlling stake in pecker's company. the enquirer of course is under scrutiny for its scoop about jeff bezos's life life. federal prosecutors are looking into the amend kroeft's allegations that ami tried to blackmail and extort him. sarah fisher joins me now. what happened? the hedge fund owner of the enquirer you say became disgusted by the tabloid's tactics? hasn't the enquirerer been buying scoops for decades? >> it is important look at the time line. they discussed -- the board of ami first started talking about maybe doing something with the "national enquirer" in august. and that is when ami was talking about setting up this none prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors. >> they weren't going to prosecute. >> they were going the cohe operate. that is a moment when there is a lot of risk for the company. they are about to be indicted and they come up with this agreement. which is great. then

the parent company of the tabloid and its show david pecker have been in legal turmoil to say the leastcker's dealings with president trump and his personal attorney, michael cohen. pecker was even granted immunity by the southern district of new york in their case, and that's not even to mention the tabloid's role in publishing intimate photos of amazon ceo jeff bezos that revealed an extra marital affair. joining us now is brian stelter. why is ama making this play now? >> because this tabloid has been in so much legal jeopardy, so many legal quagmires and frank lit investors have had enough. "the washington post" which broke this news overnight says that the -- the hedge fund that controls the "enquirer" is grossed out by its content, and i'm wondering because they have done that for years. the hedge fund apparently has had enough and so has the board of directors of american media. own a lot of other magazines like "muscle" and "fitness" and "men's health" and want to focus on those. they are looking for a buyer. i can't help but wonder if jeff bezos would want to buy "the enquirer"

conversation but we heard today they were interested in part in their conversations with ami and david pecker, the head of ami which is the publisher of the "enquirer" who had an intimate role in efforts to conceal those affairs. >> and looking to you on the legal piece of this. we know that doj and sdny follows the belief that citying presidents can be indicted and it is unknown if they will charge trump when he leaves office, be it in the near future or former years, what could the next steps be? >> so there could be a couple of things. first of all, it is possible and i think your reporting goes to this, it is possible that a district would seek to indict the president once he is out of the office and that is a big difference after the 2020 election or 2024. if there is 2024 there is problem with the statute of limitations which is five years and it will seem like ancient history but if it is in 2020, you're still within the five-year statute because this happened in late '16 or early '17. >> so they could wait until he is at the end of the -- >> they could. there is not an indication but

. >> the point is, with david pecker, national inquirer did with bezos is not much different.s cut and dry if it's true. it's literally taking money that should have went to a client and pocketed it. >> all of the money or -- >> 30%. parentsly it's more than that. i will say this in avenatti -- i've been reading his tweets. that's how he's defending himself here. he showed a document from a client, the paraplegic that said, you know, our deal is fine. clients can cut side deals with lawyers. that doesn't necessarily -- that doesn't comport to 30. maybe comports to 40. i don't know. remember, he does have some evidence on his side. >> neil: what does that mean? are you saying this is all stuff that is easily thrown out? >> i don't say easily thrown out. i say he will have his day in court and, you know, he does have -- just strike me that he had a client in a written document saying the settlement was okay. he put it on his twitter feed. i have never seen anything like this if it's true. >> neil: you think if he didn't go after the president, nike, that we would be talking abou

on march 18th this year, "the wall street journal" reported that ami and david pecker aproved a $200,000ey in now along comes gavin debecker, who is a very well respected security professional. he's paid by jeff bezos. but i think he has some independent standing is the phone that rp nm. that they're poor, the saudis took information from jf bezos' phone, compromising information, gave it to a.i. and that led to the publication in january of the description of the follows. in. it something that would seem on its face to. >>> tom nichols, what is the impact if in fact this investigation bears fruit and it is proven that the saudis intentionally tried to hack i have. >> well, there's two things going on. one is we can't lose sight of the incredible fact that a tab loy that supports the president sflrn, personally destroy the owner of a newspaper that the president hates at a tabloid directed bip an alloy of the f with the as soon as. in under in and one of the few backing him and wouldn't join that sfm first policy, first amendment, if that's true, to have a regime that what. for that supp

both hicks and schiller, according to "the wall street journal," made phone calls to david pecker, "nationaloss who had a so-called catch and kill agreement with the president to help bury the stories about what stormy daniels and karen mcdougal say are affairs with then businessman donald trump. among what prosecutors want to know, whether mr. schiller during a phone with pecker passed the phone to then candidate trump. so more details about these investigations. part of this was in the case against michael cohen, where individual one, the president of the united states, is essentially named as an unindicted co-kpconspirator in campaign finance violation. are they trying to develop a case against the president, even though the justice department said you can't indict him? do they just want to have it in a file? >> look, i think all of those things are a possibility. the idea that the investigation is going to continue through the end of this presidency is very much i think on the minds of the trump lawyers who are dealing with this. what "the journal" story does is it definitely puts a lot

investigators were reportedly interested in hope hicks and keith schiller's communications with david peckere chief executive of american media incorporated which has admitted to paying is hush money to former playboy model karen mcdougal on trump's baffle. according to the report, prosecutors also asked at least one other witness whether ms. hicks had coordinated with anyone at american media concerning a journal article on november 4th, 2016 that we vealed american media had paid $150,000 for the rights to karen mcdougal's story of an alleged affair with mr. trump. "the wall street journal" also says investigators possess a recorded phone call between former trump lawyer michael cohen and a lawyer who represented stormy daniels and karen mcdougal. this investigation was begun by robert mueller. so much of it will -- so how much of it will be in the mueller report and will there be any comment in the mueller report about why the president was not indicted for according to federal prosecutors, committing the same campaign finance crimes that michael cohen was charged with. after a break, we'

and also with david pecker, who was the publisher and he talks to donald trump, he's talked to him for years, they're very close. and he testified in the grand jury against michael cohen under an immunity deal. that all culminated last august into michael cohen pleading guilty. we got a little bit more detail about the earlier stages of this sdny investigation. >> this s dmrdny, southern dist of new york potentially a bigger threat to the president than the mueller investigation? >> i think people close to the president have always thought that this is the bigger threat. and the fact that it lives on, wolf, by the way, we know, again, "the wall street journal" kind of clarified some things that we've already said and known, which is that this is an investigation that's still ongoing. the prosecutors in new york seem to be trying to figure out who else may have been involved, who may have known about the hush money payments. and whether or not there were any additional laws that may have been broken in this. so, again, i think this is why people close to the president have always said,
