A legal question about Pecker's plea agreement and testimony [View all]

Could Cruz, Rubio, and or Clinton sue the National Enquirer and claim that this payola scheme that Trump and Pecker cooked up is the actual malice they need to prove to win their case? I know that actual malice is a very high standard but publishing stories to help a campaign that you at best have no evidence are true seems to meet that standard to this admitted non lawyer.
