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.
During the trial, the defense sought to highlight inconsistencies in Pecker's recollection of key events, casting doubt on his credibility as a witness. Trump's legal team focused on questioning Pecker about the financial motives behind AMI's decision to purchase the rights to Karen McDougal's story alleging an affair with Trump.
