Hush Money Trial Resumes With Key Witness Testimony

Trump's criminal hush money trial kicks off in New York City

The hush money trial involving former President Donald Trump resumed on Friday afternoon following a lunch break. The trial saw former American Media, Inc., CEO David Pecker facing questioning from New York prosecutor Joshua Steinglass. Defense attorney Emil Bove is also expected to cross-examine Pecker as the proceedings continue.
