Former President Donald Trump, speaking at an early morning news conference in New York City, referred to former tabloid publisher David Pecker, a crucial witness in the hush money trial against him, as a 'nice guy.' Trump's comments came as Pecker is set to return to the stand today to testify in the ongoing trial.
During the news conference, Trump expressed his appreciation for Pecker, stating, 'He's been very nice. David's been very nice. He's a nice guy.' The former President's remarks were met with chants of 'We want Trump' and 'USA' from his supporters who were present at the event.
Pecker has already testified about two of the three catch-and-kill deals orchestrated to suppress damaging stories, with his testimony on adult film star Stormy Daniels expected to be presented today. In his testimony on Tuesday, Pecker detailed his collaboration with Michael Cohen to suppress negative stories on behalf of Trump during the 2016 election.
The hush money trial has garnered significant attention due to its implications for Trump's involvement in efforts to conceal potentially damaging information. As Pecker prepares to provide further testimony, the trial continues to unfold, shedding light on the intricate web of relationships and agreements surrounding the case.
