Publisher of the National Enquirer said to be prosecution's first witness Monday morning.
Magazine publisher David Pecker is slated to be the first witness in former President Trump’s criminal hush money trial, The New York Times reported Sunday, setting the stage as the first criminal trial of a former president gets underway Monday.****
Are they ever going to say what crime Trump supposedly committed in order to upcharge this to a felony?
Probably in opening statements. So we will learn before lunch I would guess
It looks like
https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/ELN/17-152
§ 17-152. Conspiracy to promote or prevent election. Any two or more persons who conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means and which conspiracy is acted upon by one or more of the parties thereto, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
He's charged for misclassifying the repayments to Cohen, in 2017, after the election lol.
DawsonSField has a good thread about this setting a precedent for going after all of the media that conspired to help Hillary and damage Trump in 2016. If The National Enquirer was powerful enough to sway the election as the prosecution argues, what about the rest of the media who actually coordinated with Clinton?

It's comms for "ToDAY we see a VIDeo of the PeCKER"
We don't know whose pecker... but we're sure it's a pecker.
No sauce for this theory. That would be a money shot vid.
Sorry. Feeling a bit punchy.
KEK, pecker…you said pecker
If only his first name was Richard, it would have been perfect.
I worked with a Richard Dick
"Dick Dick"
Last name checks out.
Anything that he would say would be hearsay.
What does that have to do with putting the payment on the wrong place on business forms??
His pecker pecker in the way? Just thinking outside the box ArmyLady 😂
This is not what Trump is accused of. I think you minimizing the risk of this trial to Trump.
Here's info on Pecker from when Michael was convicted. Pecker would have been a witness against him if he went to trial
