The contract states that “AMI will not owe source any compensation if AMI does not publish the exclusive…” and the top of the agreement shows that Sajudin could receive a sum of $30,000 “payable upon publication as set forth below”.
But the third page of the agreement shows that about a month later, the parties signed an amendment that states that Sajudin would be paid $30,000 within five days of receiving the amendment.
The amendment also establishes a $1 million payment that Sajudin would be responsible for making to AMI “in the event source breaches this provision”.
“Sajudin has been unable to discuss the circumstances regarding his deal with American Media Inc. and the story that he sold to them, due to a significant financial penalty,” Held told the media.
In April, Sajudin told the media he claims to have knowledge of a relationship Trump had with his former housekeeper that resulted in a child.
At the time, AMI called Sajudin’s story “not credible” and denied any connection between the story and Trump and his former personal attorney Michael Cohen.
Sajudin’s allegation has not been independently confirmed by any of the outlets that have investigated the story.
