TL;DR Summary

The Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump's role in a "hush money" payment heard testimony from David Pecker, the former CEO of American Media, Inc. and publisher of The National Enquirer, who played a key role in connecting a lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels with Michael Cohen, Trump's then-attorney. Pecker testified before the panel on Monday afternoon. The investigation appears to be focused on whether the Daniels payment involved the falsification of business records and violated state campaign finance law. Trump has denied wrongdoing in connection with all of the probes and accused investigators of conducting a "witch hunt."
