National Enquirer company chief David Pecker talking with New York prosecutors

Source: CNN

(CNN)David Pecker, the head of the company that publishes the National Enquirer, has spoken with prosecutors with the New York district attorney's office as part of its investigation into the Trump Organization's handling of hush money payments to women who alleged affairs with President Donald Trump, sources with knowledge of the meeting tell CNN.

The America Media Inc. chairman's late October meeting with prosecutors from the major economic crimes bureau could provide key details on discussions that took place involving Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who allegedly had an affair with Trump, and agreements that were made with former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, the sources said.

Cohen is cooperating with the investigation. Pecker is expected to continue talking with prosecutors, sources said.

The meeting between Pecker and the local prosecutors shows that investigators are still trying to connect the dots between Trump and the hush money payments. The meeting could result in Pecker being a potential critical witness down the road in any legal action against Trump or the Trump Organization.

Trump signed the freaking checks! How many more freaking dots do you need? Cohen is already in prison for this crap and they're still trying to "connect the dots" to Trump? Justice moved very swiftly for Michael Cohen, but it's moving at a glacial pace for Trump. I guess Cohen didn't have the right kind of lawyers.

You have a sick & twisted mind. Congratulations.

BTW So these would be state charges that Trump couldn't issue a pardon for? Oh my!
