    David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified at Donald Trump's trial Tuesday that the tabloid completely manufactured a negative story in 2016 about the father of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who was then Trump's rival for the GOP presidential nomination.

    The paper had published a photo allegedly showing Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, with Lee Harvey Oswald, handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963, not long before Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy.

    Trump repeatedly referenced it on the campaign trail and in interviews.

    “I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?” Trump said in an interview with Fox News in May 2016. “It’s horrible.”

    Manhattan prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked Pecker about the story's origins during the trial Tuesday in Manhattan. Pecker said that then-National Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard and the tabloid's research department got involved, and Pecker indicated that they faked the photo that was the foundation for the story.

    “We mashed the photos and the different picture with Lee Harvey Oswald. And mashed the two together. And that’s how that story was prepared — created I would say," Pecker said on the witness stand.

    Asked by Steinglass whether Cruz had gained popularity in the presidential race at the time, Pecker said, “I believe so.”

    The revelation came up as the prosecution focused on negative articles that were published by the tabloid about Trump's Republican opponents at the time. Pecker explained that it was Michael Cohen, Trump's personal lawyer, that would orchestrate the planting of these stories.

    Pecker said Cohen would call and say they'd like his publication to run an article on a certain candidate, adding that Cohen would then send him a piece about Cruz, for example, and the National Enquirer "would embellish it from there."...........

    Oh, now I see where SFL gets his conspiracy theories from. Nice.
     
    Micheal Cohen is a witness against Trump in this trial. Which criminals are we supposed to believe? Anyone who is against Trump right?
    I think you should weigh the corroborating evidence and also consider who lies the most. Cohen is just an amateur liar compared to Trump.

    Michael Cohen is a criminal because of the exact crimes Donald Trump is on trial for now

    The exact crimes Donald Trump told him to do

    Avanetti is a criminal because he tried to extort Nike for 25 million dollars

    A bit different no?

    Sometimes you have to get a convicted Capone henchman to testify against Al Capone

    A reasonable take? We can't have that here, lol.
     
    Oh its who lies the most. What a great standard for evaluating witnesses in a trial.
    Are you only capable of picking pieces of statements that puts them out of context? Did you note the part about corroboration? I think that's kind of important. I don't think there is any corroboration for your favorite defendant.

    clearly you have no idea how prosecution works. They got receipts, brah.

    which makes this whole ' i believe Avenatti" angle even funnier.

    Did Trump make him do this?


    What about Cohen's tax evasion scheme with the Taxi medallions?

    What about Cohen's false statement to the bank involving the taxi medallions?

    Neither of those involved Trump and he was found guilty of both.

    Avanetti is a criminal because he tried to extort Nike for 25 million dollars

    A bit different no?

    Yeah it is different. They are both criminals, but Cohen appears to be the bigger liar.

    It's laughable how yall decide which criminals to believe.

    At least Coldseat admitted that the way to decide which criminal to believe is any criminal who is against Trump.
