"Every single time I talked to Michael Cohen, he leaned on his close affiliation with Donald Trump," Davidson testified. Advertisement"It was part of his identity," the lawyer told jurors of Cohen.

At another point, Cohen claimed the Trump Organization computer systems were, "quote, all fucked up," Davidson told the jury.

When a porn star and Playboy Bunny both came forward, Trump feared for voters, not family, Pecker told jurors. Then, in swift succession and with the 2016 election just months away, a Playboy Bunny and a porn star appeared with more sex scandals. But in the months before the 2016 election, all Trump worried about was his voters, Pecker testified on his third day on the stand. "I thought his concern was with the campaign," Pecker added. Pecker told jurors he had been investigated by California officials for just this sort of thing more than a decade before Trump's 2016 campaign.

"It always gets out," Pecker testified Trump told him. "It always gets out," Trump explained of his hesitancy, according to the trial's first witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker. Advertisement"I think the story should be purchased and you should buy it," Pecker told jurors, describing what he told Trump about McDougal's accusations during a June, 2016 phone call. But Trump wanted nothing to do with the McDougal payoff, Pecker said Tuesday, his second day on the witness stand. But Trump is now on trial for a second hush-money payment that prosecutors say has Trump's fingerprints all over it — the payment to Daniels.

But Trump directed Cohen to delay making that payment to Daniels "as long as possible," according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Bragg's allegation that Trump tried to delay the payment to Daniels also challenges an argument made last month by Trump's current attorney Joe Tacopina. He said the hush money payment to Daniels was "not directly related to the campaign." In a single report from USA Today in 2016, hundreds of people accused Trump of withholding payment for services they provided. Bragg on Tuesday also detailed Trump's alleged involvement in efforts to suppress ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal's claim that she had an affair with Trump years ago.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg unveiled new details Tuesday about the role the National Enquirer's then-publisher played in boosting former President Donald Trump's winning 2016 campaign. The Trump, AMI and Pecker alliance continued through the 2016 election and the former president's inauguration, according to Bragg's investigation. Outside of the McDougal payment, the tabloid suppressed or published various stories related to Trump or his opponents during the election. The Manhattan DA revealed new examples of how the relationship worked among Pecker, AMI and Trump. AMI purchased the information from the Doorman without fully investigating his claims, but the AMI CEO directed that the deal take place because of his agreement with the Defendant [Trump] and Lawyer A [Cohen]."
NY prosecutors are looking into Trump's hush-money payment to Karen McDougal, WSJ reported. Prosecutors have been investigating if Trump broke the law when Michael Cohen paid off Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. Investigators have long been probing a $130,000 hush-money payment to the adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The Manhattan grand jury was empaneled in January, but activity related to the Trump investigation appears to have slowed in the past two weeks. Cohen — thought to be one of the final prosecutor witnesses — finished his grand jury testimony on March 15.
Trump previously said he would continue campaigning for the Republican Party's nomination if charged with a crime. Shortly after, Trump appealed to supporters to provide money for a legal defense. Trump will have to travel to Manhattan for fingerprinting and other processing at that point. The Manhattan investigation is one of several legal challenges facing Trump, and the charges could hurt his presidential comeback attempt. No former or sitting U.S. president has ever faced criminal charges.
"I look forward to speaking and to being presented before the grand jury," Cohen told NBC News and other reporters. A former top advisor to Trump, Kellyanne Conway, met with the DA's office on Wednesday, The New York Times reported. Michael Cohen , the former personal lawyer to Donald Trump , said Friday that he believes he will "very soon" be called to testify before a New York grand jury collecting evidence in a criminal probe of the former president. In Daniels' case, Cohen paid her $130,000, but in McDougal's case, the then-parent company of the supermarket tabloid The National Enquirer paid her $150,000. In addition to the Manhattan DA's probe, Trump faces three other criminal investigations.
