American Media Inc. CEO David Pecker Reportedly Given Immunity in Cohen Case

Chief content officer Dylan Howard will also not be charged

David Pecker, the CEO of American Media Inc., which publishes The National Enquirer, was reportedly given immunity in the Michael Cohen investigation.

Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon to breaking campaign finance laws after he helped arrange a payment to a former Playboy model with Pecker. The arrangement called into question the legality of Pecker’s decision and what it could mean for American Media, Inc., which also publishes Us Weekly, Star, OK!, In Touch and Life & Style.
