Norm Eisen: ‘Most Compelling’ Witness of Hush Money Trial Is David Pecker

EXCERPT:

EISEN: "[Hope Hicks] was perhaps the most dramatic, Jessica, but in some ways, the most compelling witness so far was David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, because Pecker took us inside the most important issue for this case. Trump's intent. Did he have the intent to commit another crime and then to cover it up with these 34 allegedly false documents, and Pecker said he and Michael Cohen and Trump agreed at a 2015 meeting at Trump Tower that that was what they would do. They would benefit the campaign through these secret payments. If that's true, that's a campaign and election conspiracy, which is half of the prosecutors' case. So, Pecker and Hicks, both extremely important."
