Quote, youre losing all credibility with the court, but making no decision on the matter. Matter. Then testimony continued from david pecker, who took jurors deeper into the world of catch and kill, detailing how his National Enquirer or sought out stories that might damage the Trump Campaign in order to catch them and then bury them. Afterwards, the cameras rolling, viewers watching the former president spoke out about not being allowed.
