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.****
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?
