David Pecker, who testified Monday before a Manhattan grand jury, played a key role in Trump’s efforts to silence women with whom he had affairs before the 2016 election, prosecutors in the previous federal case said.
Pecker’s testimony is likely to be key to the Manhattan prosecution’s argument that the hush money payments were meant to suppress negative information from becoming public before the election.
Pecker, a longtime ally of Trump’s, was the CEO of the parent company that owns the National Enquirer, American Media Inc. In November 2018, The Wall Street Journal
reported that Trump had personally asked Pecker to silence women who might come forward with details of Trump’s sexual relationships with them. Payments were made to ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult film star Stormy Daniels.
In December 2018, federal prosecutors said that
AMI had admitted to paying $150,000 in hush money to McDougal. The money was to buy the exclusive rights to her story so Trump allies could ensure the story wouldn’t become public and influence the 2016 election.
Previously, federal prosecutors
granted AMI immunity. Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen was sentenced to prison after he pleaded guilty to several crimes, including improper campaign contributions for his $130,000 payment to Daniels. Federal prosecutors said Cohen acted in coordination with and at the direction of Trump.
