National Enquirer boss and Trump pal David Pecker gets federal immunity in Michael Cohen case
He was part of the scheme to bury the details of Trump’s extra-marital escapades. He bought damaging stories as exclusives, then kept them out of print, thus effectively silencing the accusers. I gather that he was reimbursed by Cohen directly, which means that he was ultimately reimbursed by Trump. Maybe.
It’s not clear whether Pecker’s testimony and promise of immunity is restricted to this specific facet of Trump’s life, or if he is fully co-operating with the feds and/or New York State on other Trump-related matters. (He is a long-time Trump friend.)
