During his testimony, AMI CEO David Pecker shed light on why his company, the parent company of the National Enquirer, decided against paying $120,000 for Stormy Daniels' story. Pecker explained that he did not want the National Enquirer to be associated with a porn star, citing concerns about the magazine's distribution through Walmart.
Pecker emphasized that having the National Enquirer linked to a porn star could have negative repercussions, especially with Walmart being a major distributor of the publication. He expressed his belief that such an association would be detrimental to AMI's reputation and business interests.
