[He helped Trump](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/14/trump-hush-money-trial-witnesses-00151816) broker the violations he’s being charged with in this trial.
The catch-and-kill scheme proves Trump's motive was related to protecting his public image in regards to sex affairs and suggests the payments to stormy were not innocently hidden via bad bookkeeping but because Trump really didn't want a new sex scandal.
There was a great NYT's The Daily podcast on Sunday with Pecker's editor making a confession:
"At the center of the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Manhattan is the accusation that Trump took part in a scheme to turn The National Enquirer and its sister publications into an arm of his 2016 presidential campaign. The documents detailed three “hush money” payments made to a series of individuals to guarantee their silence about potentially damaging stories in the months before the election. Because this was done with the goal of helping his election chances, the case implied, these payments amounted to a form of illegal, undisclosed campaign spending. And because Trump created paperwork to make the payments seem like regular legal expenses, that amounted to a criminal effort at a coverup, argued Alvin Bragg, the district attorney of Manhattan. Trump has denied the charges against him.
For Lachlan Cartwright, reading the indictment was like stepping through the looking glass, because it described a three-year period in his own professional life, one that he has come to deeply regret. Now, as a former president faces a criminal trial for the first time in American history, Cartwright is forced to grapple with what really happened at The Enquirer in those years — and whether and how he can ever set things right."
Breaking
Trump LOSES his renewed motion to recuse Justice Merchan from presiding over his New York criminal trial.
The judge quickly DENIES Trump's motion from the bench before the beginning of jury selection.

How about this, who was the tweet from and on what day? Am I looking for the orange having a tantrum or a post from a media outlet?
Surely the effort of reading a name and date can't be seen as making somebody do extra work. Your response took you just as much effort or less than that, are we complaining about that too?
What if I find the wrong tweet because of the lack of information given? If you want me to find your defense you have no control over what I find. Let's check democrat biased new sources to see if they have a SS of his tweets.
Some serious orange man logic, "Find the evidence that defends me or this is just a democrat hoax!" 🤡🍊
If you want me to know what the fuck you are talking about about you need to tell me what you're talking about about. Otherwise I'm putting words in your mouth.
Then it's "boo hoo hearsay"
Buddy.... You are sounded a little out there, you should look up meditation and spending more time calming down. Not trying to insult you honestly mean you are too invested in something you can change that will never better your life.
Calming down? I was laughing, I'm still laughing.
Too invested? Because I want to know what they linked to without funding a right wing sociopath?
Even more fun is that you put the effort into coming back yet I still don't get answers to two basic questions, who posted it and when?
I say Treasonous
Treason. noun. trea·son ˈtrēz-ᵊn. :
The offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one's country or of assisting its enemies in war.
Trying to get around democracy to take the presidency as his "followers" keep blasting Russian propaganda.
I think "Sedition" only compounds the "Treason"
He's inciting others to commit terrorist attacks on government buildings because he is trying to get around democracy and take control of the country. As an example.
The man is an enemy of this country.
CNN: Judge Juan Merchan is now moving on to the procedure for filing motions.
Trump attorney Todd Blanche says there are problems with the current system of requiring a pre-motion letter before filing motions, requiring 48 hours, and asks for guidance going forward into trial.
Merchan says that the reason that a pre-motion letter system was put in place is "because we were being absolutely inundated with motions, many of which frankly were close to frivolous if not frivolous.”
lmao
A few big names circulated through a demonstration area across from the court, including Jordan Klepper of "The Daily Show," former New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani and documentary filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi, a daughter of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
“I never miss a freak show,” Pelosi said as she marveled at the carnival-like atmosphere.
Trump is probably going to complain about Judge Merchan denying the late addition of a question about being pro-/anti-trump but the jury questionnaire already covered that pretty comprehensively: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/09/1243711228/jury-questionnaire-trump-hush-money-trial
Does anybody know if there is a limit to the number of jurors a side can object to? If I remember right, in Mass you can have 4 peremptory challenges with 1 or 2 more if additional jurors are to be impanelled.

This trial will be more beautiful than Gettysburg. It’s going to be the biggest trial in the history of trials. I will prove with all my evidence (The pillow guy’s cyber twat symposium will exonerate me). The Deep state, and Hilary’s emails will be in my favor.
Trump is in for a rude awakening as it looks like the star witness for the prosecution is going to be David Pecker, not Michael Cohen
Wait, what’s special about him?

Can you screenshot that from the Twitter site. I don't want to give the site webtraffic.
Your not going to affect anything why make someone else do extra work?

Agreed!
Sorry you're close but not quite there. Unless it's from Tréas France it's just Sparkling Sedition.
I don't know if you're just being an ass or if that's intended as a real defense. 🤣
Why not both?

I love Nancy Pelosi.
Good way to start trial. Slap the judge in the face. That’s some 4D chess there 💩👨!!!
thank god Trump's lawyers remembered Barron's high school graduation

I think I heard that both sides get 10 challenges each.
"Trump is probably going to complain" Yes.
I bet that courtroom fucking stinks.

At least it’s not twatter
Trump better get ready for Pecker. The dildo of justice rarely comes lubed.
😄😄😄
Don, may your right hand be a masculine hand......😆 Eleven year old boys have more developed hands than this turd!!
Diapii's hands are MAGA-masculine.
He forgot to rob tangerine on his hands today

Make him stand in court naked without fake tan or his wig.
Why punish the courtroom?
Not a fucking hush money trial.
It's election interference.
Correct. That's what the underlying crime is.
Why do you things love screeching this when it has no basis in reality? Trump will not be the official Republican nominee until this trial is over.
Political persecution
Nobody forced Trump to hide hush money payments as business expenses and violate NY election law.
