Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for president, faces 34 felony-level charges in the New York-based trial.
Former President Donald Trump, with attorney Todd Blanche , walks toward the press to speak as he arrives at his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to extramarital affairs, at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City on April 26, 2024., providing damning details of the scheme to “catch and kill” negative news stories for the then-GOP nominee for president in the runup to the 2016 election.
By paying off McDougal — as well as adult film star Stormy Daniels and a doorman who alleged that Trump had an out-of-wedlock child — Trump and his cohorts were technically making election-related expenses.Pecker’s testimony demonstrated that Trump’s actions were indeed meant to cover up his affairs without having to document the payments during his run for president.
He recounted that Cohen had told him not to worry, assuring him that “Jeff Sessions is the attorney general and Donald Trump has him in his pocket.” “How’s ‘our girl’ doing,” Pecker recalled Trump saying. “I said, she’s writing her articles, she’s quiet, things are going fine.”
