National Enquirer Shredded Secret Trump Documents

“American Media, Inc. and the National Enquirer shredded sensitive Donald Trump-related documents that had been held in a top-secret safe right before Trump was elected in 2016, according to fresh allegations made in a new book by journalist Ronan Farrow,” Politico reports.

“During the first week of November 2016, the book alleges that Dylan Howard, who was then editor in chief of the National Enquirer, ordered a staff member to ‘get everything out of the safe’ and that ‘we need to get a shredder down there.'”

Why else would they prohibit so many people from "meeting" with government representatives?

that this is what's happening at the White House right now. They blow off subpoenas, so why not blow off requirements to preserve records. Their attitude is - SO WHO'S GONNA MAKE ME!

wherever and whenever they can get away with it. I completely agree with you that otherwise they ignore, obstruct and shit all over the Rule of Law and our Constitution.

Hmmm. But if he's innocent, why would there be a cover-up?

Something also happened to his tax returns and records. My, my, my. What an unusual "coincidence".

Since their stories can never be told (the theory behind catch and kill), their contracts are null and void and probably will be detailed in the forthcoming book "All The President's Women" coming out later this month.

gets disappeared. Why are so many people - from so many different aspects of Trump's life - so interested in protecting him?

Why do the Repugs circle the wagons for him? Why did the national enquirer shred these documents they had? Why doesn't Deutsche Bank have his tax documents? Incriminating info from his days on The Apprentice is kept out of circulation.
