Witness testimony continues in Trump’s New York hush money trial

Al Jazeera  

Donald Trump’s defence team has sought to discredit a key witness in the former United States president’s New York trial over a hush-money payment made to an adult film star. Trump’s lawyers on Friday questioned former tabloid publisher David Pecker, who has detailed how he entered into a deal with Trump to “catch and kill” negative stories to try to help the ex-president’s 2016 White House campaign. Nor was there discussion at the meeting of any “financial dimension”, such as the National Enquirer paying people on Trump’s behalf for the rights to their stories, Pecker said. In the first portion of cross-examination on Thursday, Trump’s lawyer sought to portray agreements to “catch and kill” negative stories related to prominent individuals as “standard operating procedure”.
