On Thursday a main witness in the criminal trial of Donald Trump gave details on how he worked with the former president’s advocate to kill a Playboy model’s story about a sexual relationship with the Republican.
In the criminal trial of Trump, it’s the third day of testimony whom prosecutors accuse of falsifying business records to pay off adult film actress Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence over a 2006 sexual case that could have derailed his 2016 White House campaign.
However, Trump is the first former US head of state to face criminal charges. The high-stakes trial demands Trump to report to the drafty Manhattan courtroom multiple times a week, less than seven months before his election rematch with President Joe Biden.
‘Trump involved in election fraud by having his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen make a $130,000 payment to Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election’, says Prosecutor.
The latest testimony from David Pecker the 72-year-old former publisher of the National Enquirer tabloid points to a hush money payment to Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model, that was a precursor to the Daniels saga.
Pecker told jurors, ‘I wanted to protect my company, I wanted to protect myself and I wanted also to protect Donald Trump’.
