Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker’s testimony could have a political impact for Donald Trump because it is “refreshing memories about the turmoil that dominated the Trump era,” Politico reports.
“Pecker gave the prosecutors what they wanted from a legal point of view. He directly connected the catch-and-kill schemes to Trump’s 2016 campaign and rebutted the notion he was concerned about family, not politics. That’s bad news for Trump. And if he’s convicted, polls naturally show it could have a significant impact on the election. But in the meantime, the legal technicalities may be less important than the larger tabloid narrative that is dominating the media and blotting out any competing message from Trump.”
