Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo has made a significant statement regarding David Pecker, the former chairman of the National Enquirer's parent company. Colangelo asserts that Pecker was not merely acting as a publisher but rather as a co-conspirator in certain activities.
The allegations against Pecker involve his role in various 'catch-and-kill' schemes that were reportedly carried out on behalf of former President Donald Trump. One of the notable incidents involves Pecker's alleged involvement in a scheme to pay hush money to adult-film star Stormy Daniels. This payment was intended to conceal her alleged affair with Trump in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election.
