American Media said Thursday it is selling its tabloid the National Enquirer to James Cohen, chief executive officer of Hudson Media.
The National Enquirer had admitted to paying hush money to help U.S. President Donald Trump get elected and been accused of attempting to blackmail Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
The sale is expected to reduce AMI’s debt to $355 million.
