Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker testified on Tuesday, revealing details of his involvement in offering to be the 'eyes and ears' of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. This pledge led to an agreement to provide Trump's personal lawyer with advance notice of negative stories that could impact the then-candidate's political aspirations.
Pecker elaborated on the agreement, stating that the tabloid ran negative stories about Trump's political opponents and even paid for a doorman's silence after he made allegations about Trump fathering a child. The trial, which resumed after a morning hearing on alleged gag order violations, saw Pecker as the sole witness.
