Trump feared for campaign, not family, as sex scandals were caught and killed, exEnquirer CEO tells hushmoney jury
"First, up popped a doorman with a tale — false, it turned out — of an illegitimate child. Then, in swift succession and with the 2016 election just months away, a Playboy Bunny and a porn star appeared with more sex scandals.
Throughout their decadeslong friendship, Donald Trump worried about his family hearing these kinds of unsavory stories, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker told a Manhattan jury on Thursday.
But in the months before the 2016 election, all Trump worried about was his voters, Pecker testified on his third day on the stand in the GOP frontrunner's Manhattan hush-money trial.
"Prior to the election, if a negative story was coming out with respect to Donald Trump, and we spoke about it, he was concerned about Melania and Ivanka, what the family might hear or say about it," said the former publisher."
