The publisher of the National Enquirer was fined $187,500 (£132,492) for buying and suppressing the story of a former Playboy model who claimed she had an alleged affair with Donald Trump.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) said that in making a 2016 payment to Karen McDougal, American Media Inc had “knowingly and wilfully” violated election law.
The FEC’s decision came three years after a complaint on the $150,000 payment was made by nonprofit government watchdog group Common Cause.

if having affairs was grounds for disqualifying someone for public office - then we wouldn't have politicians

MAJ(P) Eugene Chu - again - if we investigated every politician, audited all their financials - dug deep into their charitable contributions, there will be hush money somewhere, and no politicians. My god, how have Americans been living under rocks regarding the political sleaze rampant within the halls of political power. This shit has been going on since before Tamany Hall.
