Trump Being Brought Down by Pecker... Birdie
On the stand: Witness David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, is being questioned by prosecutor Joshua Steinglass in Donald Trump's New York criminal hush money trial about the "catch and kill" deal involving Karen McDougal that Michael Cohen allegedly reached on behalf of the former president.
About the witness: Pecker's testimony is detailing the tabloid's operations suppressing negative stories about Trump so they wouldn't influence the 2016 election. Prosecutors allege the separate hush money deal at the center of the case that Pecker helped broker with adult film start Stormy Daniels is part of an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election.
