'He's gonna get peckered': Trump trolled as hush money trial jurors request to review David Pecker ‘conspiracy’ testimony

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: Deliberations in Donald Trump's hush money trial began on Wednesday, May 29. Jurors requested to review the testimony on the former president's alleged involvement in an attempt to conceal sex scandals from 2016 voters, the New York Post reported.

Before adjourning for the day, the seven men and five women on the panel, including two attorneys, a retired wealth manager, a speech therapist, and individuals who supported and opposed Trump, weighed the evidence for over five hours.

Donald Trump told news cameras in the courthouse hallway shortly after deliberations started at around 11:37 am, "Mother Teresa could not beat these charges. The charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged."

Notably, after working for about three and a half hours, the jurors returned to the courtroom with a note requesting to hear testimony on Trump's alleged knowledge of what the prosecution claims was an unlawful plot to purchase and bury accounts from women who said they had affairs with him before to the 2016 election.

Moreover, David Pecker, the publisher of the National Enquirer, testified that in June 2016, Trump asked him whether they should pay Playboy model Karen McDougal to keep quiet about her alleged romance with the real estate magnate. The jury asked to review Pecker's evidence.

Furthermore, Pecker stated in his deposition that he suggested to Trump that he should pay to "take the story off the market".

David Pecker said, "I believed the story was true. I believe it would have been very embarrassing to himself and also to his campaign."

Pecker also recalled that Trump had expressed concern to him that McDougal's tale would eventually come to light anyway. Pecker testified, "[Trump] said, 'I don’t buy any stories. Any time you do anything like this, it always gets out.'"

The next day, Michael Cohen allegedly contacted Pecker and said, "You should go ahead and buy this story." Later in his testimony, Pecker said that he had paid McDougal $150,000 to silence her.

Additionally, the jury requested to hear Pecker's and former Trump "fixer" and personal attorney Michael Cohen's testimony on a crucial August 2015 meeting at Trump Tower again.

During the meeting, the two prosecution witnesses claimed that they had discussed and planned to run puff articles in the Enquirer touting Trump's qualities and to suppress women's claims about his affairs.

During Tuesday, May 28, closing remarks, Trump's attorneys attempted to minimize the influence of the Enquirer on voters in 2016, while the prosecution pointed out that the magazine's cover is available in supermarkets all across the nation.
