Donald Trump has just returned to the courtroom after the brief break. | |
While we wait for David Pecker's testimony to start again, let's check in with an expert to see why the media mogul was chosen as the first witness. | |
Former Brooklyn prosecutor Julie Rendelman says having Pecker up first was a smart move. | |
"He provides the backdrop for how the whole 'catch and kill' scheme came to be, the players involved, and the timing as it related to Trump’s campaign," she tells me. | |
She adds that Pecker seems to "know Trump quite well" and gives the jury an inside view as to the part Trump played in the decision making for the scheme. | |
