Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker resumed his testimony on the witness stand again today for the third day in the felony election interference case against Donald Trump.
The prosecution started court by filing another motion to hold Trump in contempt of court for violating the gag order. This time it was his statement about the jury being "95% Democrats." They also brought up positive comments he made about Pecker this morning, arguing that he was sending a message to him that he better "be nice" to him when he testifies today.
Pecker resumed testifying about Playboy model Karen McDougal. Her attorney came to them with the story that she had a sexual relationship with Trump. He said he immediately called Michael Cohen. This call followed the same pattern as the others - Cohen immediately said it wasn't true but that he would check into it and call Pecker back.
Pecker said that McDougal didn't want to be "the next Monica Lewinski," although he didn't clarify exactly what she meant by that comment. Pecker said that Trump then called him and said that McDougal "is a nice girl" and asked him about rumors he heard that a publication in Mexico had offered $8 million for her story. He said that he understood that what Trump was saying was essentially code for an acknowledgement that there was a relationship between them.
