Pecker denied ever purchasing such a story, stating, 'Ah no.'
When asked if this action benefited the National Enquirer in any way, Pecker responded, 'No, that didn’t help.'
The exchange sheds light on the interactions between media outlets and individuals of interest, particularly in the context of high-profile figures like Donald Trump. Pecker's testimony provides insight into the practices and decisions made within the media industry.
