Who is the Australian at the centre of the Trump Trial?
Listen now
Description
You've likely never heard of him, but an Australian journalist who played a crucial role in getting Donald Trump elected, has been named as a co-conspirator in the former President's hush money trial.  His name is Dylan Howard, and he was formerly editor in chief of the American tabloid paper, the ‘National Enquirer, a position he held when Trump engaged his services to practice what's known as 'catch and kill journalism'. This means he was tasked with buying any negative stories about the then presidential candidate and ensuring they were buried. The hope was this would save Trump from any reputational damage. But despite his name being mentioned hundreds of times in the trial and the critical role he played in winning Trump the election, he is yet to appear in court. Legendary investigative journalist with the Nine Papers, Kate McClymont, has dug deep into the life and times of Dylan Howard, and chats with Luke Grant about his background in Australia, his journey to becoming a key player in US Politics and where he is believed to be living now.
