National Enquirer story on Ted Cruz Sex Scandal

Well, it wouldn't be the first time the Enquirer broke a story like this.

And they are acutely aware that they can and will be sued if their story is full of holes and can't be backed up.

I can't actually see their website from overseas, but i can see this blog:

Oh dear, the National Enquirer has come out with a story claiming evidence of multiple sexual trysts by presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz. Worse yet for the Cruz camp, the framework within the article is structurally very concerning: The National Enquirer is indeed a tabloid – and as such there are various grains of salt that should be applied when reviewing anything they present. However, that said, they have been unfortunately accurate for more than a few presidential hopefuls: Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson and John Edwards to name a few of the more infamous examples. Beyond the story itself there’s a few presenting elements which point to a high degree of confidence, and as a consequence ‘legal avoidance’, on the publishers’ part. Firstly, they post pictures of the collective mistresses. NE would never legally “go there” if they did not hold a very reasonable certainty the outlined players were factually part of the story. Secondly, there’s at least one face in the group that is easily identifiable.

Cruz probably wasn't going to win anyway, but if this pans out I think you can really put a fork in him. They nailed John Edwards, so you can't just dismiss it as "tabloid gossip".
