During the trial, Joshua Steinglass presented key information regarding the Dino Sajudin story. He revealed the existence of source agreement documents between the former Trump Tower doorman and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker. It was disclosed that Pecker had agreed to pay a higher amount than usual for the story, indicating its potential significance.
Pecker reportedly stated that if the Sajudin story was true, it would have had a monumental impact, likening it to the magnitude of Elvis Presley's death. However, Steinglass highlighted that Pecker had intended to delay publishing the story until after the election. This decision was based on an agreement Pecker had made with Michael Cohen and Donald Trump.
