David Pecker, former chairman of American Media Inc., has resumed his testimony. Pecker was involved in “catch-and-kill” schemes orchestrated for Donald Trump and allegedly played a role in the Stormy Daniels deal. Court documents revealed that AMI was contacted by an agent for Daniels, prompting Pecker to reach out to Cohen for negotiations. AMI also agreed to pay Karen McDougal $150,000 for her silence about an alleged affair with Trump before the 2016 election. Pecker has been granted immunity in exchange for his testimony, and AMI signed a non-prosecution agreement with prosecutors.
