Former National Enquirer Publisher Testifies Before Trump Grand Jury: What’s Next for the President?

Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker testified before a grand jury in New York on Monday as part of an ongoing investigation into former President Donald Trump’s businesses and finances. Pecker, a longtime ally of Trump’s, was subpoenaed by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s office earlier this year. The grand jury has been hearing evidence in the case for several months and is expected to reconvene this week to continue its deliberations. Trump has repeatedly attacked the investigation and has denied any wrongdoing. He recently appeared at a campaign rally in support of Republican candidates and used the platform to criticize the investigation, calling it a “witch hunt.” Pecker previously testified before a grand jury in 2018 as part of the investigation into hush-money payments made to women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.
