Doorman who sold story of alleged Trump 'love child' to AMI says he's free to talk now

A former Trump World Tower doorman said Friday he’s been released from a contract that kept his story — claiming Donald Trump had a love child with a housekeeper — under wraps at the National Enquirer.

The one-time doorman, Dino Sajudin, is now free to discuss the tale once under lock and key of American Media Inc., whose owner David Pecker is a close pal of Trump’s, according to CNN.

Pecker is famous for “catch and kill” stories – paying people for the rights to their potentially embarrassing tales about Trump and keeping the sordid accusations locked away.

“Mr. Sajudin has been unable to discuss the circumstances regarding his deal with American Media Inc. and the story that he sold to them, due to a significant financial penalty,” Sajudin’s lawyer Marc Held told CNN.

I went to the link but something keeps popping up to block the rest of the story.

I do remember reading about this in all the thousands of stories about Fraud.

Gracias, TexasT

“Just recently, AMI released Mr. Sajudin from the terms of his agreement and he is now able to speak about his personal experience with them, as well as his story, which is now known to be one of the ‘catch and kill’ pieces. Mr. Sajudin hopes the truth will come out in the very near future.”

Sounds like something trump wouldn't want known. So Pecker is turning on his former buddy any way he can?

Thanks!

A Pandora's box. In fact, there could be 4 decades worth since he was the veritable "rich playboy" of NYC, deeply involved in the entertainment and sports/boxing worlds.

It would be interesting if something eventually voids Ivana's gag order (she is the mother of the 3 oldest) -



And glad to see that Lane was downgraded to a tropical storm although the rain is still an issue... But at least the catastrophic wind potential is gone. Hope you are well Cha!

to learn why David Pecker is releasing the ND contracts on Dino the Door man and whomever else's gets released. The timing coinciding with his immunity deal piques my curiosity.

Yes, I just saw this.. coincidently the wind and rain started getting stronger outside right now and I had to close some windows. Who knows how long that will last, though? Weather!

Hawaii Breathes Sigh of Relief After Hurricane Lane Is Downgraded to Tropical Storm

And on the Island of Kauai, residents were still waiting for the winds to pick up, anxious that the storm could lead to a repeat of the flooding that devastated part of the island in April. Those floods breached a major highway in four places, closing it to all but local resident traffic. Tourists were banned.

“We’ve been through so many disasters that you have to love it or leave it,” said Teri Tico, a lawyer who lives on the beach in Haena but left ahead of the storm.

Mike Kuntz, a Haena resident who is staying put, said he had to console his daughter as the storm approached. “I want to get out of here,” he recalled her saying, “but I have nowhere to go.”

Hope you're well, too, BRDS..

That doorman story will be interesting although I know the guy had already started talking about it back in the spring and then was gagged from discussing further.

Here's a copy of the actual contract -

11. Apparently Pecker and Dylan Howard (AMI content officer) despise Trump...

Looks like they are now trying to bring him down.

But that was before federal prosecutors investigating Cohen subpoenaed A.M.I. Pecker’s friendship with Trump now seems to be over. According to a source close to A.M.I., Pecker and Trump haven’t spoken in roughly eight months. Howard remains particularly angry at Trump, two people close to Howard told me. “There is no love lost,” one person familiar with Howard’s thinking said. Another person said Howard “hates Trump” and feels “used and abused by him.”

the fee to keep them quiet.. they are now releasing them?!! Yay for Democracy, I say!

But, they were such "good buds".. until trump got them in trouble.

Another person said Howard “hates Trump” and feels “used and abused by him.”

And, isn't that just Fraud's MO?

Thank You so much for the link and the snip, blitzen.. I do believe that satisfies my curiosity quite well!
