While Donald Trump was running for president in 2016, his old friend David Packer, publisher of the National Enquirer, collected stories that could have damaged his candidacy and paid him tens of thousands of dollars to hide them from the public, the Associated Press reported. by BTA.
But when it came to the criminal claims of the porn actress Stormy Daniels, the longtime publisher of the tabloid said that he stuck his foot. “I’m not going to pay for this story,” he told Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Packer said this in his testimony in the case about the money that was paid to the porn actress Stormy Daniels. Here, he explained to jurors his version of the scheme to cover up news that was damaging to Trump’s candidacy. According to prosecutors, he is a disappointment in the 2016 US election race.
By the time Daniels came forward, Packer had already lost $180,000 on other Trump-related stories.
Packer’s testimony was a key element in prosecutors’ allegations that their partnership was a means of illegally influencing the 2016 presidential election, the Associated Press noted. Trump’s lawyers also cross-examined Packer, trying to show that his claims had changed over time.
Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court is hearing arguments about whether Trump should be immune from charges related to his efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. The Supreme Court judges seem inclined to reject his claims of full immunity, but at the same time it seems very possible that the trial will be delayed until after the November election, the US intelligence agency said.
