Donald Trump trial LIVE: National Enquirer publisher David Pecker returns to the stand to be grilled by ex-president’s lawyers after detailing hush money payments for multiple celebrities

Donald Trump returns to court Friday for the hush money trial to watch his attorneys cross-examine former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker.

During cross-examination before the court closed for the day, Pecker went through a series of high-profile appointments with celebrities and powerful men that he claimed he had secured.

Pecker also claimed he helped bury stories about Mark Wahlberg and his wife feuding and Rahm Emanuel having an affair after leaving the Obama White House.

Pecker confirmed that he had purchased the rights to photos of Tiger Woods meeting a woman in a Florida parking lot as part of another deal.

He agreed that they were used as “leverage” to get Woods featured on the cover of Men’s Fitness magazine.

It turned out in court that Pecker had also informed Trump of negative stories for years, and Pecker agreed.

Among the other powerful men for whom Pecker did similar favors was billionaire Ron Perelman, the owner of cosmetics giant Revlon.

Schwarzenegger was paid $50 million in addition to his posts as editor at two muscle-building AMI magazines as part of a deal for AMI to buy them, the court heard.

Bove said that “30 or 40 women came to you and AMI” when Schwarzenegger ran. Pecker agreed.

‘Not that high. Hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Pecker said.

Pecker confirmed that Schwarzenegger did not pay him back.
