David Corn - Mother Jones - Nov. 4, 2016

..... The DNC sent a report with the technical details to the FBI, according to the DNC officials. "We believe it's been given by the bureau to another agency with three letters to examine," the DNC official says. "We're not supposed to talk about it."

A Democratic consultant who has done work for the DNC, who asked not to be identified, says he was recently informed about the suspected bugging.

The DNC officials will not say what countermeasures were subsequently taken. "As a general policy, we don't talk about such efforts," the other DNC official says.

at the national enquirer. He had an almost year long affair with a playboy playmate in '06. Yes while married to Melania.

She was planning to come forward and tell her story a few months ago. National Enquirer purchased exclusive rights and had her sign NDA's. But that had no intention of ever publishing her story. They basically got her to sign NDA's to kill the story completely
