Prosecutors are now asking David Pecker about another one of their key witnesses, Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer-turned-foe. To illustrate how the arrangement that David Pecker describes plays out, prosecutors are now showing a series of headlines which the National Enquirer ran about Trump or his opponents during the 2016 election.
Pecker says he met Cohen at a bar mitzvah when Trump introduced them, saying Cohen had "done a lot of great things for him". One says "Boozin Ted Cruz fixin' to lose". Another reads "Bungling surgeon Ben Carson left sponge in patient's brain!"
Trump added that contact between himself and Pecker should now go through Cohen. Trump can see these boldfaced headlines on the monitor in front of him. He seemed to look at them quickly before turning his attention back to Pecker on the stand.
Years later, the relationship between Trump and Cohen soured greatly. At Trump's lawyer's request, Justice Merchan instructs the jury that these headlines are only being admitted into evidence to show that they were published, not for the content contained inside them.
