A former Trump building doorman confirmed Thursday that he told the National Enquirer the real estate baron turned President sired a love child with his housekeeper.<\/p>\n
Dino Sajudin's stunning admission came hours after it was reported that the supermarket tabloid's publisher paid $30,000 to silence him.<\/p>\n
Today I awoke to learn that a confidential agreement that I had with (National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc.) with regard to a story about President Trump was leaked to the press, Dino Sajudin said.<\/p>\n
I can confirm that while working at Trump World Tower I was instructed not to criticize President Trump's former housekeeper due to a prior relationship she had with President Trump which produced a child.<\/p>\n

Sajudin told an Enquirer reporter that he heard two Trump employees including longtime security chief Matt Calamari say the real estate baron sired a daughter with an ex-staffer in the 1980s, according to reports in the Associated Press and the New Yorker<\/p>\n
Sajudin even passed a lie detector test.<\/p>\n
But the magazine deep-sixed the story as part of its catch-and-kill strategy, paying for and then burying stories about Trump and other friends of magazine owner David Pecker, the reports say.<\/p>\n
Neither the AP nor the New Yorker confirmed Sajudin's claims and the Trump organization sharply denied them Thursday.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sajudins claims are completely false, the Trump Organization said in a statement.<\/p>\n
A spokesman added that Calamari never uttered such a statement and accused Sajudin of having a history of peddling bogus stories.<\/p>\n
The alleged love child declined comment. But the former housekeeper also sharply denied the tawdry tale.<\/p>\n
This is all fake, she told the AP. I think they lost their money.<\/p>\n
Sajudins ex-wife told the Daily News she didnt buy the story either. Nikki Benfatto described her former husband as a pathological liar.<\/p>\n
Hes infamous for making up stories, Nikki Benfatto said of her husband of 14 years.<\/p>\n
Hes seen the chupacabra. Hes seen bigfoot. One of our friends who passed away, he saw him too, walking down the street.<\/p>\n
Benfatto said she stopped communicating with her ex in 2014 after he threatened her and spread false rumors about her online. A source close to Sajudin claimed that his former wife is bitter because she lost custody of their two children.<\/p>\n
After the polygraph results came in, one AMI source told the New Yorker, the decision was made at a high level to pay this source those funds and to put this thing to rest without an investigation taking place.<\/p>\n
But a reporter on the story recalled there was a great deal of doubt over Sajudins accusations.<\/p>\n
I believed from the beginning it was not true, Sharon Churcher told the New Yorker.<\/p>\n
Sajudin told both the AP and New Yorker hed only speak for money, and a website accuses him of being a scam artist.<\/p>\n
The shaken ex-doorman declined to go into detail Thursday from behind the door of his Poconos home.<\/p>\n

Its a bit much, you know? It wasnt supposed to be out there anyway though, he told the Daily News. Its bit much. Its a little stressful on the kids.<\/p>\n
When asked if he got the $30,000 payout from AMI, Sajudin replied: You saw the article, so what it says there.<\/p>\n
Employees at the company were more concerned with a cover-up than an actual love child.<\/p>\n
The revelation comes days after FBI agents raided longtime Trump fixer Michael Cohens office and residence, reportedly looking for a slew of files tied to AMI.<\/p>\n
Among the records sought were documents about Karen McDougal, the ex-Playboy model who sued AMI for silencing her with a $150,000 payment for a story on her claimed affair with Trump in 2006.<\/p>\n
Cohen has also admitted to paying adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels $130,000 weeks before the election to keep quiet about her claimed tryst with Trump.<\/p>\n
AMI employees speculated to the New Yorker that company executives had him the loop about Sajudins story.<\/p>\n
Cohen was kept up to date on a regular basis, one unnamed source told the magazine.<\/p>\n
AMI emphatically denied Trump or Cohen had anything to do with its decision not to pursue a story about a love child that it determined was not credible. The suggestion that David Pecker has ever used company funds to shut down this or any investigation is not true.<\/p>\n
Radar Online, a sister publication to the Enquirer, published a story Wednesday saying that editors at the Enquirer believe Sajudins tale was not true.<\/p>\n
When we realized we would be unable to publish, and other media outlets approached the source about his tale, we released Sajudin from the exclusivity clause that had accompanies his $30,000 payment, freeing him to tell his story to whomever he wanted, AMI Chief Content Officer Dylan Howard told Radar.<\/p>\n
Unnamed staffers at the Enquirer said that the magazine didnt show its usual aggressiveness in confirming the story.<\/p>\n
We didnt pay thousands of dollars for non-stories, let alone tens of thousands, an AMI employee told the New Yorker. It was a highly curious and questionable situation.<\/p>\n
Sajudin was reportedly subject to a $1 million penalty if he broke his agreement, which a source told the AP was larger than any other amount hed seen.<\/p>\n
