David Pecker, the former chairman of the National Enquirer’s parent company, is expected to be the first witness called at former President Donald Trump’s criminal hush-money trial, according to The New York Times and CNN.
Pecker played a key role in several “catch-and-kill” schemes to bury embarrassing stories about Trump and was a central player in the alleged scheme to cover up hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 campaign.
