David Pecker says Michael Cohen would call him after 2016 Republican presidential debates. Based on the success candidates had, Cohen would direct him and Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard on which candidate to target next in the magazine.

Some negative stories about Ben Carson, Ted Cruz shown to jurors
By Kyle Schnitzer

Jurors are now being shown some of the National Enquirer's attacks on Ben Carson and Ted Cruz during the 2016 presidential campaign.

One negative story attacked Carson on Oct. 7, 2015, with the headline, "Bungling Surgeon Ben Carson Left sponge in patient’s brain!"



Two critical Cruz headlines were, "Ted Cruz Shame By Porn Star," published on Feb. 12, 2016, and "Boozin' Ted Cruz Fixin' to Lose," published on Feb. 19, 2016.

David Pecker said he would speak to Michael Cohen, then Trump's attorney, who would comment on them and adjust the stories if they needed tinkering.



"We would send him PDFs of the story before it was published to show him the direction the story was going," Pecker said about his correspondence with Cohen at the time.

He added that Cohen "would comment on them."

"We would add content... based on the information Michael Cohen shared," Pecker said.

Could Pecker turn on Trump?  This could get  bad.

Sounds to me like he already has....

Trump admits worries about RFK Jr. as polls tighten between him and Biden

Former President Donald Trump isn’t sure if a third-party candidate will drive a wedge between him and victory in November, but Republicans adjacent to him are.

That’s a change to the general belief that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom Trump called “extremely liberal,” has only served to siphon votes away from Democrats after a lifelong association with the party.

“They say he hurts Biden. I’m not sure that that’s true, and I think he probably hurts [us] both,” Trump said of Kennedy in a radio interview Monday night. “But he might hurt Biden a little bit more, you don’t know.”

A recent NBC News poll showed strong support for Kennedy among third-party candidates, and that support hurts Trump in a five-way race. More Trump voters favored Kennedy than President Joe Biden voters, and that shifts the vote to a 2-point Biden advantage.

It's a NY Court.  Evidence is nice, but not required.
