Page 281 - Ami News Today

This day. the purpose of that was not to get anybody in trouble. but those are my notes, those are for me. when you care about someone, you dont try to set them up in any way, shape or form, thats my opinion. >> the thought of telling your story to ami, some people hearing that are going to think, a, you wanted money, and b, you wanted to damage the president. >> i voted for the president. i voted for donald. why would i want to damage him? thats my party, the republican party, thats my presiden...

My guess is, i havent talked to keith, my guess is keith thought he was doing something good. he was talking to michael cohen to leverage a deal. with ami. because of michael cohen had not blessed it im sure ami was never going to pay her the money in the first place. so. >> she wants the life rights back from ami. that thats essentially what they own in that contract. is that something she can actually sue to get back? >> yes. she can sue to get that back. when you say you want your life rights...

What happened to her. >> well, keith davidson was also representing stormy daniels in the hush agreement that she worked out with michael cohen. so be specific. what are you alleging against this attorney keith davidson? >> were not alleging anything against anyone other than ami. and the reason for that is very simple. karen wants one thing and one thing only. she wants to pea able to defend herself either now or in the future. if people come forward and say shes a liar and this relationship di...

Was only through reporting recently that karen even began to understand the extent to which this collusion existed. and so it was definitely a primary impetus for her coming forward now. but now that shes come forward shes going to get out of this contract. >> that word, collusion, a pretty powerful word right now. i want you to go in detail. who was colluding with him whom? >> karen hired keith davidson to represent her. and keith did a number of things. he took her for example to a b.c. and th...

Story. >> keith davidson. attorney. >> correct. >> an attorney who was an attorney for stormy daniels. >> i didnt know that. yes. >> and others in this business. >> clearly. >> so what did you do then? you contacted dafd davidson? >> i didnt. johnny did. and a mutual friend. we lunch together and wanted to know details. we sat down at lunch for a couple hours and gave him details. this story is worth many millions and im like okay. so we talked about it. and thats when keith brought it to ami. >...

Its been a while since i read it. >> ten months after the election, david pecker had lunch with you. wat was the genesis of that? what was the point? >> i was told that david pecker wanted to have lunch with me because he was happy about the way i answered my interview in one of the article magazines. i dont remember which one. he wanted to thank me and thank me for my loyalty. >> loyalty. >> he said loyalty. >> loyalty to ami in loyalty to -- >> i thought to ami. i dont know exactly what he mea...

View of what happened, which is just really shameful treatment of karen on the part of amis executives and basically everyone on that side of the table, then i think any reasonable person in her position would not want to be tied to that company and would believe that the deal should be unwound. you say oh, well she got $150,000. well, that presumes that you accept that the deal was fair in the first place. shes a very successful model. she was doing a modeling contract. she was promised a numbe...

>> all right, there is a lot in here to dissect and well talk about the political implications, which might be greater than the legal implications over the next hour. first im joined by chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin and there are some legal questions here, jeffrey. number one, if you listen to what shes saying, shes suggesting that the fact of her relationship, you know, there was an attempt to cover it up, with a payment from this organization that was close to the president. >> oh, absolu...

These stories coming out and a lot of women will say yuck. >> we got to take a quick break. one quick note, we mentioned ami has released statement about the contract and her allegations about efforts to keep her from speaking. im quoting here. karen mcdougal has been trfree respond since 2016. the suggestion that ami silenced her is completely without merit. she promised to write health and fitness columns and appear on the cover of the magazines. ami has a valid contract and look forward to re...

I dont know. ive never seen that side of him. >> when you heard other women coming forward, alleging inappropriate touching, inappropriate behavior, im wondering what you thought. >> again, i was kind of mortified. i was like wow. is he capable of that because i didnt see that. clearly, women have their stories and their opinions and if they were violated like that, they should come forward. >> ami has put out a statement saying that you can talk to the media. that youre free. >> i saw that stat...
