During the trial, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass presented a transcript excerpt revealing David Pecker's testimony about a deal involving the Dino Sajudin story. Pecker stated that if the story were to be leaked to another publication or media outlet, it would have caused significant embarrassment to the campaign in question.
Steinglass emphasized that such actions were not in line with normal legitimate press functions, indicating potential misconduct or unethical behavior in handling the story deal.
Following the presentation of the transcript, Donald Trump was observed leaning over to speak with his attorney, Emil Bove, suggesting a moment of discussion or reaction to the unfolding events in the courtroom.
