Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker faced cross-examination by Donald Trump's legal team in the hush money trial involving payments to Stormy Daniels. The trial focuses on allegations of a catch-and-kill scheme to suppress damaging information about Trump before the 2016 US presidential election. Trump faces charges of falsifying business documents related to these payments, which prosecutors claim were part of a larger criminal scheme to influence the election. Pecker discussed a 2015 meeting where negative stories about Bill and Hillary Clinton were allegedly planned to benefit the tabloid's business.
