Pecker Confirms Lack Of Campaign Finance Reporting In Testimony

Former U.S. President Trump's civil fraud trial continues, in New York

During a recent legal proceeding, Trump's attorney raised objections to questions posed by Steinglass regarding Pecker's knowledge of campaign finance laws at the time of a transaction. Despite the objection, the court overruled it, allowing the questioning to continue.

Steinglass specifically inquired whether Pecker was aware that corporations engaging in campaign expenditures in coordination with a campaign without proper disclosure was considered unlawful. Pecker acknowledged his awareness of this fact, confirming that such actions were against the law.

Furthermore, Pecker admitted that the transaction in question had not been reported in accordance with campaign finance obligations. This revelation sheds light on potential violations of campaign finance laws surrounding the undisclosed transaction.

Notably, during this exchange, Trump discreetly passed a note from one of his attorneys to the other, indicating a strategic communication between the legal team members.

These developments underscore the ongoing legal scrutiny surrounding campaign finance practices and the implications for individuals involved in such transactions. The case continues to unfold as more details emerge during the legal proceedings.
