The first witness to be called by the Manhattan district attorney’s office in Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial is expected to be David Pecker, according to a person familiar with the plans.
As the then-chairman of American Media Inc., which publishes the National Enquirer, Pecker was involved in numerous “catch-and-kill” schemes he orchestrated on behalf of Trump.
The New York Times first reported on the expected witness.
The DA’s office is expected to call him after opening statements are completed.
