David Pecker, a key witness in the Manhattan trial, testified that he agreed to execute "catch and kill" deals expressly in service of helping Trump's 2016 presidential campaign --- a plot that prosecutors have labeled a conspiracy to illegally influence the election.
In his third day [04/25/2024] of testimony, Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer tabloid, offered jurors a vivid recounting of two such arrangements: one with Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model who claimed she had a yearlong relationship with Trump, and the other with Stormy Daniels, a porn star who alleged a sexual encounter with Trump, and whose deal is at the center of the New York felony charges against him.
[NOTE: Later in testimony, David Pecker related that he refused to set up a Stormy Daniels deal.]

Yeah, that would be perfect.
I wonder if somebody could make a meme like that and it could be spread all over. I think it would give Alvin Bragg’s case the ridicule it deserves.
The bottom line; past the statute of limitations, the feds investigated it and found no reason to prosecute, Bragg has no crime, his star witness is a convicted perjurer.
And here is politico lying again.
The New York statute under which Trump is being prosecuted only applies to NEW YORK elections. It does not, and cannot apply to Federal Elections.
The game is over, but they are still going through the motions.
Seems like she’s got some inconsistencies in her stories and a lot of conflicting statements.
Trump didn’t sign the non-disclosure agreement. Who knows whether he even knew about it. Is there anybody claiming he did besides the two liars Stormy and Cohen (who were themselves having an affair and planned to bilk Donald Trump, according to someone who claims to have overheard Cohen talking about it)?
The page you linked to claimed that Trump had admitted in an ethics filing that he had paid Cohen for the NDA but when I looked at the source material it only said that he had written a check to Cohen for over $100,000. That doesn’t add up.
Long story short, it seems like there’s a lot of lying and misrepresentation going on in any “reports” about this issue.
And it still doesn’t make sense that Pecker would even be called as a witness since he has nothing to do with Trump accounting reports. Unless Bragg is trying to say that NDA’s are illegal. If that’s the case, then what law makes them illegal?
The whole thing stinks.
