- The first witness took the stand in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial after both sides laid out parts of their cases to the jury in opening statements. During his testimony, David Pecker described his job at the time as the former chairman of the National Enquirer’s parent company. #CNN #News
Donald Trump is to politics what the National Enquirer is to journalism.
🐦⬛ 👍
Dude the guy works for the national inquire that is trying to bring Trump down. Do you even realize what you're saying. Liberals are such a joke
DAMN...... I remember when The National Enquirer was celebrity gossip, Big Foot, Lochness Monster and UFO sightings ....
Well put.
@alcrow1458
never has anything been more true than that! And honestly, I have to add that I have not been on the N.E. website for many years, I could not even make myself to "peek in" sometimes. So disturbing this "news"outlet. 😵
Trump does not publicly ridicule David Pecker. I am thinking that this is because Pecker knows where all of Trump's bodies are buried.
I believe the gag order also applies to witnesses. I'm sure TFG's lawyers wrestled the phone out of his tiny paws before he could send anything that would violate that. But you may also be correct.
Excellent point !
Yes he does. It wasn't just the Stormy Daniels assault that was reported to them. Other women told their stories to the Enquirer. The Enquirer paid them for their stories and then killed each one of them. The owner is one of Trump's rich buddies. Those women could never tell their stories anywhere else, or they would be sued.
Pecker literally had a wall safe with paperwork regarding Trump.. the documents keep Trump silent
He may not have thought about the guy as a threat til now also.
If only people have listened to Hillary
Now your just being mean,....or really bad joke?

This trial should be televised for the American people. They deserve the truth in its initial statement. Not the revised version by the press.
But but the safety of the jury.
Take that up with the great state of New York. It's their laws and policies that prevent it.
Trial transcripts are public - you can read.
@@pdoylemi libs can't read.
It would be very interesting to follow the trial via TV. The cameras should be focussing on Trump, the judge and prosecutors and the stand of the whitnesses. No need to have the jurors in focus…due to their safety!
This is just the terrible stuff we know about… he has spent a life as a horrible person expert at intimidation, obstruction, covering up etc…

Hey Jake, we can read what it says on the left. There's no need to keep interrupting your guests.
If Jake would stop interrupting 😖
As a trial lawyer, I counsel defendants not to stare down or react to witnesses - the jury believes them more if the defendant tries to intimidate.
Surely you mean 'not' to intimidate?
Interesting, if confused. Whom does the jury find more credible. Guessing it's the witness?
@@ardentynekent2099 - That's what the comment said. Makes a lot of sense.
But trump will not listen.
I have had judges tell me to tell the Defendant to control his face and his body, stop rolling his eyes, shaking his head, mad-dogging the witnesses. If they keep doing it, then the judge will admonish the Defendant in front of the jury. And then they can have the bailiff remove him if he keeps it up.
