Former National Enquirer Publisher Testifies Against Donald Trump
In a startling turn of events, David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, took the stand in court to testify about his close relationship with former President Donald Trump. Pecker admitted to manipulating coverage of Trump during the 2016 election, pledging to act as his “eyes and ears” in the media.
This marked the first time a witness has testified against Trump in a trial accusing him of falsifying business records. Pecker detailed his decades-long relationship with Trump, dating back to the 90s, and his involvement in the 2016 presidential campaign.
During his testimony, Pecker revealed a “catch and kill” scheme to bury negative stories about Trump’s opponents and protect damaging information. He specifically mentioned his promise to look out for stories from women, including the alleged affair with Karen McDougal.
Prosecutors are seeking a $10,000 fine for Trump’s violation of a gag order through social media posts, and Pecker’s testimony could potentially corroborate Michael Cohen’s claims about payments made to women alleging affairs with Trump.
Pecker was granted immunity in 2018 for providing information about the payments, which ultimately led to the sale of American Media, Inc. This testimony has sent shockwaves throughout the media and political world, as the former allies now find themselves on opposite sides of a high-stakes legal battle.
