Purchasing a story in order to suppress it is known in tabloid circles as “catch and kill.” ronanfarrow, an expert on the practice, breaks down Donald Trump’s pattern of concealment, which is at the heart of the Manhattan D.A.’s case against him.
,” a book I wrote about tactics used by Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump to suppress stories. At a studio in Brooklyn, in 2019, Sajudin recounted his experiences with Trump and A.M.I. to me for several hours. “You were asking me questions about this—this contract, and this gag clause,” Sajudin told me, recalling the encounter at his door. “I was, like, Holy crap, where’d this guy get this information from? How’d this get out? I says, ‘I’m not supposed to be sayin’ nothin’.
On Wednesday, when I reached out to Sajudin to ask him about his reaction to the indictment, he told me that Bragg’s office never got in touch with him. In a statement issued through his lawyer, Sajudin said, “I was in complete shock when I was informed by my Attorney that I was cited in the statement of facts related to former President Trump’s Indictment as I was not given any forewarning that I would be included.
The decision highlights the unique perils of the Trump indictment, legally and politically. In interviews, several former prosecutors said the decision not to interview Sajudin was risky and wondered why Bragg did not seek information from someone in a position to either support or rebut the evidence being presented. “This was a public investigation for a long time,” Marc Agnifilo, a former prosecutor in Manhattan, said.
