Witness testimony to continue in Trump’s New York hush money trial
Al Jazeera
Defence to continue cross-examination of tabloid publisher David Pecker as ex-US president’s historic trial continues.
Witness testimony is set to begin for a fourth day in former United States President Donald Trump’s New York trial related to hush-money payments made to an adult film star.
Trump’s lawyers on Friday will continue to question former tabloid publisher David Pecker, who has spent three days detailing how he entered into a deal with Trump to “catch and kill” negative stories to try to help the ex-president’s 2016 White House campaign.
US prosecutors have spent days trying to establish a wider pattern of efforts by Trump to seek to illegally influence that year’s election.
Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business documents related to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
The charges concern the alleged mislabelling of repayments that Trump made to his lawyer Michael Cohen, who had paid $130,000 to Daniels in return for her silence over an alleged sexual encounter with Trump. The former president has denied the affair took place.
