Witness credibility is crucial at any trial. Donald Trump’s criminal case in New York is no exception. But Tuesday’s court proceedings remind us that some of the most important evidence doesn’t always come from witness testimony alone but also from documentary evidence that can’t lie or be cross-examined, like text messages. Consider the testimony of Keith Davidson, whom Manhattan prosecutors called to the stand Tuesday.
Recall that the trial’s first witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, testified that he was looking to kill negative Trump stories to help the 2016 campaign. Further laying the foundation for their case, prosecutors spotlighted a series of texts, including one in which Davidson told Howard ahead of the election that he had a “blockbuster Trump story,” referring to McDougal.
