Cohen testifies about relationship with David Pecker
Michael Cohen said he knew ex-National Inquirer publisher David Pecker before he knew Donald Trump, but it wasn't until he started working for Trump that he spoke with Pecker, often by phone, email or Signal, an encrypted messaging app.
Cohen said he met Pecker at a function on Long Island before he became "reacquainted" with him under Trump.
He said they would use Signal to communicate "depending on the matter" and how those conversations not being "traceable would be beneficial."
"Depending upon the matter. Sometimes we thought that encryption and not having the event traceable would be beneficial," Cohen said.
