David Pecker’s explosive courtroom testimony has put Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign strategy under an extraordinary spotlight, revealing details about a private effort prosecutors say was designed to suppress damaging stories and protect Trump during the presidential election.

Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified about a crucial August 2015 meeting at Trump Tower involving Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, and Pecker himself.

According to Pecker, Trump and Cohen asked what he and the National Enquirer could do to help the campaign. Pecker said he agreed to publish favorable stories about Trump, attack his political opponents, and act as Trump’s “eyes and ears” by alerting Cohen whenever potentially damaging stories surfaced.

That arrangement became part of what prosecutors describe as a “catch-and-kill” strategy — purchasing potentially harmful stories and preventing them from reaching the public.

Pecker also testified about direct conversations with Trump, including Trump allegedly becoming angry when details involving Karen McDougal reached the Wall Street Journal and demanding to know how the story had escaped their control.

Even more striking, Pecker described a phone call shortly before the 2016 election in which Trump thanked him for his help with the election.

But this case goes far beyond tabloid headlines.
