So David Pecker provided the info that Trump was mostly busy avoiding negative headlines. Trump was especially concerned about Mr.Coden who knew of the matter. That is another negative detail that increases the load on Trump during this trial. That makes it turn from nasty to grotesque what Mr.Trump did.

In his testimony during Donald Trump’s hush money trial, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker outlined a “mutually beneficial” scheme to keep the supermarket tabloid loaded with stories boosting his election chances in 2016, while ensuring “negative” stories never saw the light of day.
As part of the arrangement, Mr Pecker would tip off Mr Trump’s then-personal attorney Michael Cohen to “negative” stories about then-candidate Trump – particularly those involving women, according to Mr Pecker.
