During a recent testimony, Michael Cohen revealed details about a conversation he had with David Pecker regarding the reimbursement for the Karen McDougal story. Cohen stated that Pecker needed to retrieve $150,000, as it was a significant amount that he couldn't hide from the CEO of the parent company. Pecker had already spent $30,000 and was feeling the pressure to recover the funds.
Cohen mentioned that Pecker was insistent on getting reimbursed and was visibly upset about the situation. The two even had a follow-up lunch at Pecker's favorite Italian restaurant, where his frustration was once again expressed.
When Cohen informed Donald Trump about Pecker's demand for reimbursement, Trump assured him by saying, 'Don't worry. I'll take care of it.' During this interaction, Trump appeared relaxed, leaning back in his chair with his eyes seemingly closed.
