A key witness in the criminal trial of Donald Trump detailed Thursday how he worked with the former president's personal lawyer to kill a Playboy model's story about a sexual relationship with the Republican.
He is the first former US head of state to face criminal charges. The high-stakes trial demands Trump report to the drafty Manhattan courtroom multiple times a week, less than seven months before his election rematch with President Joe Biden. He said payments were disguised as services to American Media, the tabloid’s parent company, to avoid violating campaign finance laws.
Pecker said that not only did McDougal receive payment, but that the deal also guaranteed her magazine covers and the possibility to publish fitness columns.Pecker explained previously how formulating the plan — an “agreement among friends” — went down at an August 2015 meeting at Trump Tower with Trump, Cohen and Trump’s personal assistant Hope Hicks.
He has also borne witness to Judge Juan Merchan admonishing the former president’s lead lawyer Todd Blanche, who blustered through his defense of the Republican as prosecutors asked to hold him in contempt of court. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, and Cohen are both expected to appear as prosecution witnesses at the trial.
The Taraba State Police Command has paraded 28 suspects arrested for various offenses, including kidnapping, armed robbery, culpable homicide, cybercrime, banditry, cattle rustling, criminal conspiracy, and theft.
