First Trump trial witness to be former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker: NYT

Raw Story  

David Pecker, a key figure in the hush-money scandal involving former President Donald Trump, is set to be the first witness in Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan. Pecker, the former CEO of the company that published The National Enquirer, is expected to provide crucial testimony about his role in suppressing stories detrimental to Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, facilitated the payment and was later reimbursed by Trump, a transaction prosecutors argue was fraudulently recorded as legal expenses by Trump’s company. Prosecutors, led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, are portraying the case as one of election interference, suggesting that Trump orchestrated a scheme to influence the 2016 election by concealing negative stories.
