Former President Donald Trump appears at Manhattan criminal court before his trial in New York, Friday, April 26, 2024. NEW YORK — Prosecutors will delve into critical banking records when former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial enters its second week, hoping to build on marathon testimony from tabloid executive David Pecker that dominated the first days of the historic case.
Mr. Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records and says the case is a political effort to thwart his presidential campaign. Yet Mr. Pecker, under cross-examination by Mr. Trump’s lawyers, said there was no mention of either the term “catch and kill” at the meeting or of financial payoffs. He also suggested many stories saw the light of day — or did not — as a simple matter of tabloid business.The Enquirer began running negative stories about Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who ultimately faced Mr. Trump in the 2016 presidential election, before the August 2015 meeting.
