The deal also required the continuing co-operation of top AMI executives, including CEO David Pecker and Enquirer editor Dylan Howard. Now, federal prosecutors in New York are looking at whether AMI violated those terms, the people familiar with the matter said. The agreement secures Pecker’s testimony in any future cases stemming from the hush-money payments, and winning a criminal case over the Bezos matter would be far from clear-cut, Rodgers said. Bezos’ extramarital affair became public when the Enquirer published a Jan. 9 story about his relationship with Lauren Sanchez, a former TV anchor who is also married. The intimate photos at issue include a “below the belt selfie” of Bezos and several revealing photos of Sanchez, according to emails Bezos released of his exchanges with AMI.
