Legal analysts have noted the inclusion of a book, allegedly suppressed during the 2016 election, in evidence for the prosecution's case.
In the book, Sajudin alleged that Trump had a child out of wedlock with a concierge at Trump Tower—a claim both the woman and Trump have denied to various outlets.
According to Bragg, in November 2015, David Pecker, then AMI's CEO, learned that Sajudin was attempting to sell the information, and at his direction, the company signed an agreement that led to the payment. "AMI falsely characterized this payment in AMI's books and records, including in its general ledger," Bragg alleged. He added that after AMI concluded that the story was untrue, an unnamed lawyer"instructed" Pecker not to release Sajudin from the agreement until after the election.
"I don't know why Mr. Sajudin's book is on the Manhattan DA's discovery list, but I sure would like to find out," Lisa Rubin, a former lawyer and legal analyst forBut what really popped for me was a book by Dino Sajudin, a onetime Trump World Tower doorman who was paid by the National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media, for his story that Trump had a child out of wedlock with a concierge at that building.
At a hearing in Manhattan on May 23, Judge Juan Merchan set a date of March 25 next year for the start of the criminal trial, with a further hearing to take place in October this year.
