Renowned media executive, David Pecker, has recently made shocking revelations surrounding the attempt to suppress potential damaging stories during the 2016 presidential campaign. Pecker, who was Testifying before the court, stated that he had offered to alert Michael Cohen regarding any negative information in the marketplace and any stories about women selling stories. The intention behind this was to prevent them from being published.

Pecker’s Startling Testimony

In his statement, Pecker outlined the depth of his involvement and influence within the media landscape. “Anything negative that I came across about you or any reports of women attempting to sell their stories, I would promptly inform Michael Cohen. This practice continued for several years,” Pecker disclosed to the court.

He further clarified the potential consequences of such information. “Once notified, Michael Cohen would explore various options, such as arranging for their stories to be silenced in other publications or preventing their publication entirely. Alternatively, he could facilitate the purchase of these stories to prevent their damaging effects,” Pecker added.

The Motivation Behind Pecker’s Actions

Pecker shed light on the reasoning behind his focus on women during the presidential campaign. “Given Mr. Trump’s reputation as a highly eligible bachelor and his history of dating stunning women, I believed a significant number of women would attempt to sell their narratives during the campaign period,” Pecker stated. It is evident that Pecker foresaw potential negative stories with the potential to impact the campaign and believed preemptive action was necessary.
