The National Enquirer kept documents relating to President Trump’s hush money payments to women in a safe leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
The safe also contained documents from other “catch-and-kill” stories about celebrities and was revealed on Thursday as the tabloid’s parent company, American Media Inc., has received immunity by federal prosecutors, according to a report by the Associated Press.
The safe was removed from its location when a story about Trump’s hush money payment to Playboy playmate Karen McDougal was published in the Wall Street Journal in 2016, the AP said.
It was unclear where the safe — which could contain embarrassing information about Trump and others — was taken.
Sources exposed the information to the AP days after Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations .
One of the pleas alleged that Cohan, Trump, and the tabloid were involved in buying the silence of McDougal and porn actress Stormy Daniels, who alleged affairs with Trump.
