We’re now entering our third week of testimony in the first-ever criminal trial of a former president.
So far, the days have been packed. After selecting 12 impartial members to sit on a jury, the court heard testimony from a variety of witnesses called by the prosecution.
We’ve heard from David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, and Keith Davidson, the former lawyer of Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who alleges an affair with Trump.
Both testified about the “catch-and-kill” scheme they said Trump and his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen used to stop negative stories about Trump, including alleged affairs with women (Trump has denied them all).
Last week, we heard from our biggest witness yet, former Trump aide Hope Hicks, who tearfully testified about the behind-the-scenes handling of these negative articles.
We’ve still yet to hear from at least two big witnesses: Cohen and Daniels themselves.
Court will be starting shortly and pretty soon a new witness will be called to the stand. Stick with us to find out who that is.
