Pecker’s Testimony: A Legal Twist in Trump’s Case

In the criminal case against Donald Trump, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg relied on National Enquirer’s David Pecker as a key witness.

However, Pecker’s testimony backfired during cross-examination. Expected to reveal a “catch and kill” strategy for Trump’s benefit, Pecker instead admitted he and Michael Cohen orchestrated it without Trump’s direct involvement.

This contradicted media hype suggesting Trump’s deep involvement. Pecker’s revelation, including paying for Stormy Daniels’ story himself, weakened Bragg’s case.

Conservative sources criticized the prosecution’s reliance on Pecker, while liberals portrayed his testimony as supportive of Trump. The trial’s outcome highlighted the complexity and unpredictability of legal proceedings.
