The ''National Enquirer'' has publicly admitted to participating in the practice of "Catch and Kill" regarding the case of [[Karen McDougal]], a person claiming to have had an affair with President Trump. The [[Federal Election Commission]] fined the newspaper $187,000 in the case because it coordinated with the Trump campaign and paid McDougal $150,000 to benefit the campaign, making it effectively a campaign contribution.<ref name=fined>{{cite news |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/06/02/nation/national-enquirer-owner-fined-illegal-trump-campaign-aid/|title=National Enquirer owner fined for illegal Trump campaign aid|last=Arbel |first=Tali |date=June 2, 2021|agency=[[Associated Press]]}}</ref>
