I don’t think Trump owns the Enquirer. He may have supporters there. Or ... horror! ... maybe they’re just doing news as when they broke the news of the love ick on Monica’s dress, John Edwards’ bimbo, etc.
Somebody was going to break the Cruz sexcapades, they’ve been common knowledge in DC. Breitbart may have squashed the story in January and many have hinted at it for a while.
Better to get it out now -the MSM would have sprung it in the general and the GOPe held back because they need Cruz for now to help Trump.
The Enquirer endorsed Donald Trump. His close friendship with the appropriately named owner, David Pecker, is well known. The sole source of the story is the Trump Communications Director, Roger Stone.
