The jury in the courtroom appeared to be fully engaged during the recent testimony, with many members seen taking notes. As the proceedings unfolded, all eyes were on Pecker as he read out the statement of admitted facts displayed on screens in front of the jury.
The statement of facts reiterated key details that had been presented by Pecker over the course of the preceding two days. It included references to significant events such as the August 2015 meeting at Trump Tower and AMI's acquisition of McDougal's story in 2016.
During the reading of the agreement, there were instances where individuals mentioned were not explicitly named, prompting Steinglass to pause Pecker and seek confirmation on the identities being referred to in the document.
