For this episode of
Trump's Trials host
Scott Detrow speaks with NPR's
Andrea Bernstein about the latest in the New York hush money trial. Later, election law professor
Edward Foley explains the fake elector indictments out of Arizona.
In a New York courtroom, former
National Enquirer publisher David Pecker took the stand for his third day of testimony. In his testimony Pecker said Trump had intimate knowledge of hush money payments from the very beginning. Pecker was then questioned by Trump's defense team, who tried to poke holes in his story.
In Arizona, 18 people have been indicted for their alleged efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election. They include some of former President Donald Trump's closet allies — former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. Trump himself was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator. Arizona becomes the fourth state to criminally charge people related to the fake electors scheme.
Topics include:
- Hush money trial testimony
- Cross examination begins
- Fake electors scheme
