Donald Trump’s lawyers cross-examine a former tabloid publisher who said he protected the Republican candidate during the 2016 presidential campaign.
After prosecutors’ lead witness painted a tawdry portrait of “catch-and-kill” tabloid schemes, defense lawyers in Donald Trump's criminal trial on Friday sought to dig into an account of the former publisher of the National Enquirer and his efforts to protect Trump from negative stories during the 2016 election.
” Prosecutors allege that Trump sought to illegally influence the 2016 race through a tabloid industry practice that involves containing, or 'catching,' a potentially damaging story by buying the rights to it and then supressing, or 'killing,' it through agreements that prevent the paid person from telling the story to anyone else.
