Just before break, David Pecker told the court that getting Donald Trump to pay him back the $150,000 for McDougal's story was a headache. | |
He testified that he agreed to pay Cohen $25,000 for the rights to the lifestyle content AMI had promised MacDougal it would publish as part of the hush money deal. | |
Cohen would then pay the remaining $125,000 to Pecker in order to take the exclusive rights to MacDougal's story. | |
But they didn't want anyone to find out about the payment, because it would "raise a lot of issues", Pecker said. | |
So Pecker and Cohen had shell companies created to disguise the transaction, and they started to get the paperwork together. | |
But then the deal fell through. | |
