My name is Lachlan Cartwright.
I'm a special correspondent for the Hollywood Reporter and a contributor to the New York Times Magazine.
This weeks Sunday read is a deeply personal story to me, but it also, strangely enough, centers around the New York criminal trial of former president Donald Trump.
In that case, the Manhattan district Attorney Alvin Bragg is prosecuting Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
The indictments alleged that he made hush money payments to ensure the silence of individuals with damaging information on him just months before the 2016 election.
People like Dino Sududen, a former Trump world Tower doorman who claimed that Trump had a love child with one of the building's employees, and Karen McDougal, with whom Trump supposedly had an extramarital affair.
They received 30 and $150,000, respectively.
But the key here is that the payments to these people were facilitated by american media, the tabloid news organization and parent company of the National Enquirer.
Because the Enquirer owned the rights to their stories, stories that would have been negative press against Trump and chose not to publish them, but rather bury them, meant that they were essentially being purchased off the market on his behalf.
And so the reason why this is personal for me is because I witness all of this.
At the time, I was the executive editor of the Enquirer.
This story is my insider's account of the behind the scenes at american media and how it turned itself into a criminal enterprise to protect the rich and powerful.
I witnessed how the Enquirer became part of the Trump campaign, not only suppressing stories to help him, but also running negative stories about Trump's rivals.
No one else has ever been able to tell this story before because of stringent non disclosure agreements, despite threats of litigation.
This is the first time I'm sharing my story.
