The order to show cause details the four alleged violations.

Read the document here documentcloud.org/documents/2461…
Just to emphasize:

Justice Merchan has not yet ruled on ANY of the alleged violations, but he advanced the matter for two separate hearings.

We will wait to see whether he'll rule on the first 10 alleged violations, before the hearing on the latest four.

Good morning from New York.

On Day 1 on the stand, David Pecker described how he turned his tabloid empire into the Trump campaign's "eyes and ears": promoting him, attacking his rivals, and silencing "women selling stories."

The ex-AMI chief's testimony resumes today. 🧵
Image
Image
Context for this testimony:

In 2018, the day of Michael Cohen's sentencing, SDNY revealed AMI entered into a non-prosecution deal resolving a campaign finance probe.

AMI admitted the purpose of the Karen McDougal hush money—and agreed to beef up campaign finance compliance. Image
The agreement also obligated AMI's officers and representatives to truthfully cooperate with law enforcement investigations, with penalties for false, incomplete or misleading testimony.

Read the full agreement here: documentcloud.org/documents/2457…

Trial exhibits:

Some of the National Enquirer headlines that ex-AMI chief David Pecker testified were part of the behind-the-scenes scheme to prop up Trump and discredit his political rivals have been released by the court.

They were entered into evidence on Tuesday.

Behind-the-scenes:

David Pecker testified that Michael Cohen gave story ideas for negative headlines during phone calls, targeting rivals like Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, or Marco Rubio.

"That was the basis of our story, and then we would embellish it from there," Pecker said.
Inside catch-and-kill:

The $30,000 deal between the Enquirer's corp parent AMI and Dino Sajudin came into evidence, showing the doorman's payoff for "information regarding Donald Trump's illegitimate child."

Pecker said they paid to quash the story, even knowing it was bogus. Image

Good morning from New York.

Donald Trump is about to become the first former president in US history to stand criminal trial.

Opening statements will begin—after pre-trial rulings that could take on great significance if he testifies.

I’ll cover live, from the courtroom 🧵
Expected first:

The judge may issue his Sandoval rulings, determining what prior bad acts prosecutors can confront Trump with if he testifies.

A key question: "What's fair game?"

Trump has entered the courtroom, chatting with his lead attorney Todd Blanche.
