Full Title....................'Blackmailer in the White House': Mika and Joe clash again with Trump and claim president threatened to expose their relationship with National Enquirer article unless they apologized for coverage.....................................In the latest episode of the spat between Donald Trump and Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the duo is claiming that the White House pressured them to apologize to the president for their unfavorable coverage - or have a nasty article about them appear in the National Enquirer.
The tabloid is owned by Trump's friend David Pecker.
Scarborough said on Friday's program that three senior White House officials told him, 'If you call the president up and you apologize for your coverage, then he will pick up the phone and basically spike this story.
'The response was like, are you kidding me?'
Brzezinski says they decided, 'Screw it, let them run it...Were not calling.'
Trump responded with outrage on Twitter more than an hour after they made the on-air claim.
'Watched low rated @Morning Joe for first time in long time. FAKE NEWS. He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show.'

Here is an interesting article back in May when Joe and Mika announced that they were getting married. Trump is mentioned and they didn’t seem to be in a spat:

That Trump does not like these two is prima facie evidence of sanity.
I thought the Enquirer was owned by a Clintonista.
“Sandra Dee look?”
She looks like Glen Close in Fatal Attraction - with the manly jaw line and murderous psycho look.
Except Glen Close was just acting.
No. A clinton lawyer is the enquirers lawyer too.
She does look like Glenn Close and Anderson Cooper.
"Wrecking ball" I've explained this to some leftists I used to communicate with. Suffice to say "The taliban was displeased"...
