National Enquirer Paid $30,000 to Former Trump Doorman for ‘Love Child’ Story That Never Ran
The National Inquirer in late 2015 paid a former Trump World Tower doorman $30,000 for the rights to a “rumor he’d heard about Trump’s sex life” — and then never ran a story, according to the Associated Press.

The unidentified woman vehemently denied she had an affair with Trump to the AP and the New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow, who also published a report about the payment." data-reactid="23">Dino Sajudin told the Enquirer that he had heard that Trump, then a candidate for the presidency, had fathered a secret love child 29 years ago with an employee, according to National Inquirer sister publication Radar Online. The unidentified woman vehemently denied she had an affair with Trump to the AP and the New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow, who also published a report about the payment.
Radar first reported that Sajudin was paid the fee in late 2015 for his story and then never published a story. The AP has confirmed the payment was made.
“The Associated Press confirmed the details of the Enquirer’s payment through a review of a confidential contract and interviews with dozens of current and former employees of the Enquirer and its parent company, American Media Inc.,” the AP wrote on Thursday. “Sajudin got $30,000 in exchange for signing over the rights, ‘in perpetuity,’ to a rumor he’d heard about Trump’s sex life — that the president had fathered a child with an employee at Trump World Tower, a skyscraper he owns near the United Nations.”

Sajudin was subject to a $1 million penalty if he disclosed either the rumor or the terms of the deal, per the AP’s investigation.
Update: Sajudin released a statement on Thursday, obtained by CNN producer Sonia Moghe, in which he said he was “instructed not to criticize President Trump’s former housekeeper due to a prior relationship she had with President Trump which produced a child.” These instructions were dispatched to him when he worked at Trump World Tower, he said.
