Former media executive David Pecker retook the witness stand on in Donald Trump's New York hush money trial Tuesday.
Pecker testified that he used National Enquirer to promote Trump's 2016 campaign interests, including stifling a story about an alleged love-child of Trump's. Pecker's actions were part of a "catch-and-kill" conspiracy with Trump to quash stories that could hurt Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, according to prosecutors.
Tuesday's proceedings began with arguments over whether the former president should be held in contempt for allegedly violating a gag order.
Prosecutors say Trump has violated that order at least 10 times and the judge should not only fine the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but also warn him he could get jail time if things don't change. Even Monday, Trump again attacked potential witness Michael Cohen outside the courtroom, saying Cohen "got caught lying, pure lying" in a previous trial.
