Investigating Agents About Changing FBI Interview Reports

Flynn were altered to improve the chances he'd be prosecuted. "I brought
this up with the inspector general the other day. Some of those key

Enquirer Allegedly Ran Stories By Trump Camp Before Publishing
This will undoubtedly come as a surprise, but Michael Cohen, who just

over migrant family separations, might have engaged in some shady dealings
while representing Donald Trump during his presidential campaign. Three
sources tell the Washington Post that during the presidential campaign
and after Trump was elected, National Enquirer executives would send Cohen
digital copies of articles related to Trump for his approval prior to publication.
Since Trump has a close relationship with David Pecker, chief executive
of the magazines parent company American Media Inc., the stories tended
to be quite positive to start with, but one person said Cohen would sometimes
request changes, like a more flattering cover photo or headline change.
