In light of news that David Pecker -- who killed Karen McDougal story for Trump -- was granted immunity, here's my old thread on Trump/Weinstein similarities in the dark art of scandal-quashing. Both used Pecker to bury sex stories. Is there other overlap?
We know that Pecker tried to use "catch and kill" to bury stories about sexual assault allegations for Weinstein. Many women have accused Trump of the same. Did Pecker kill those as well?
Jessica Drake reportedly signed an NDA to stay quiet about allegations that Trump kissed her against her will (and offered her $10K for sex, which she declined). Were there other such NDAs? Was David Pecker involved?
In Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury," Steve Bannon said that Trump lawyer Marc Kasowitz “took care of” about “100 women” in the campaign. Did any of those involve credible allegations of sexual assault?
Bottom line: violating campaign laws to hush consensual sex may not move the needle, but hushing if there wasn't consent -- as Pecker tried for Weinstein, and as Trump allegedly did for at least one woman he kissed involuntarily -- may be very different. What does Pecker know?
