Ex-National Enquirer czar, David Pecker, confirmed under oath yesterday that he allegedly had used catch-and-kill payments to help Donald Trump’s campaign.
David Pecker, who ran the National Enquirer empire, confirmed under oath yesterday that he had used catch-and-kill payments to help Donald Trump’s campaign – and his text messages didn’t help the former president either.
In his second day of testimony at the hush money trial, Pecker said former Trump fixer Michael Cohen invited him to the candidate’s June 2015 launch, part of an effort to show how close he was to Trump and his team. In August 2015, in a meeting with Trump and Cohen, Pecker says he was asked: 'What can I do, and what my magazines could do, to help the campaign.' His response: 'I would run or publish positive stories about Mr. Trump, and negative stories about his opponents.
Finally, the judge scolded Blanche: 'You’re losing all credibility with the court. You’ve presented nothing.' Judge Merchan didn’t make a decision yesterday, but it’s crystal clear what he intends to do.
