Letter Trump loses no time in milking guilty verdict
over 1 year in Star Advertiser
The most damning testimony in Donald Trump’s trial came from David Pecker, Trump’s old friend and confidant who accepted an immunity deal. In a Trump Tower meeting in August 2015, Pecker and Trump schemed to illegally influence the 2016 election by using Pecker’s magazine, the National Enquirer, to catch and kill any stories negative to Trump or through the printing of stories with wild insinuations and innuendo against Trump’s opponents. Pecker’s testimony appeared to be pivotal in the jury’s guilty decision as they specifically requested to rehear that testimony during their deliberations.
