During a recent testimony, ex-National Enquirer boss David Pecker recounted a phone call he had with former President Donald Trump regarding former Playboy model Karen McDougal. McDougal had alleged that she had an affair with Trump.
Pecker revealed that in June 2016, he received a call from Trump after leaving a company meeting. Trump mentioned that he had spoken to Michael Cohen and wanted to discuss McDougal with Pecker.
When asked by Trump's attorney if he recalled telling Trump that McDougal did not want her story published, Pecker confirmed that he remembered saying that.
During the testimony, Pecker appeared to hesitate at times and seemed to lose his train of thought. He explained after a long pause that he wanted to ensure he remembered the details correctly.
The phone call between Pecker and Trump sheds light on the interactions between the two individuals regarding McDougal's story and adds to the ongoing investigations surrounding Trump's alleged affairs.
