Billionaire investor Ron Burkle is in talks to acquire the National Enquirer, the New York Times reported, potentially putting a high-profile Democratic Party donor in charge of a tabloid with ties to President Donald Trump.
The two sides are deep in discussions, though the talks aren’t yet final, the Times said, citing unidentified people familiar with the negotiations. When reached by Bloomberg Wednesday night, a spokesman for Burkle denied that the billionaire was buying the Enquirer.
