CNN’s Brynn Gingras said the former president smirked when witness David Pecker recounted an exchange from January 2017.
Donald Trump appeared momentarily amused in court on Thursday during a particular piece of testimony from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, according to a CNN reporter.
Reporting from outside the Manhattan courthouse, CNN’s Brynn Gingras said that the former president had appeared disengaged during many parts of the court proceedings.
She said he was sitting back in his chair with his eyes shut, occasionally conferring with his attorney.
But Pecker’s testimony about a January 2017 meeting at Trump Tower got his attention.
According to The New York Times, Pecker said he met with Trump and four people who would take on key government roles during his presidency: Sean Spicer, press secretary; Reince Priebus, chief of staff; Mike Pompeo, CIA director and secretary of state; and James Comey, FBI director.
