(Congressional Agenda) – Members of the jury, who are currently deciding whether or not to find former President Donald Trump as being guilty on 34 charges of falsifying business records in relation to alleged hush money payments given to former porn star Stormy Daniels, made several requests on Wednesday afternoon. This is according to Judge Juan Merchan who is presiding over the highly controversial case.
Johnathan Jones, contributor for The Western Journal, stated, “Judge Juan Merchan announced that after about three and a half hours of deliberations, jurors had made four requests from the court as they mulled whether to find Trump guilty or not guilty of alleged business crimes in his ‘hush money’ trial in Manhattan, CNN reported.”
Merchan was then handed a note and commented, “The note contains four requests.” The judge revealed the jurors wanted to once again take a look at testimony from David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer.
Jurors requested that Pecker’s testimony concerning “a phone conversation with Donald Trump” while Pecker was in an investor meeting where he, along with disgraced former attorney Michael Cohen chatted about a claim from Karen McDougal, a former model for Playboy, regarding an alleged affair she had with Trump many years prior.
“Jurors also asked for testimony from Pecker about his “decision not to finalize and fund the assignment of Karen McDougal’s life rights” when he owned the tabloid,” Jones wrote. “Merchan also announced jurors wanted Pecker’s comments in court about a meeting at Trump Tower and testimony from Cohen about the same meeting.”
“According to CNN, the Trump Tower meeting in question took place in August 2015, shortly after Trump launched his first presidential bid,” the report continued. “Trump, Cohen and Pecker were all said to have been present at the meeting.”
Pecker provided testimony during the trial that he was working to “catch and kill” stories for the former president from those seeking to do damage to his reputation while campaigning for president in 2016. The publisher disclosed that he had done this sort of thing for many years, both during Trump’s service as president and before, noting he was friends with him.
“Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has alleged that Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to make her claims of an affair go away and that Trump doctored records when he reimbursed him. Cohen admitted during testimony last week that he stole tens of thousands of dollars from Trump’s company in one instance,” the article concluded.

Was the fact that when Cohen lost his job with Trump, he went out to Californania and stole money from two old rich ladies supposedly as their lawyer or new lawyer. Now I never heard if Cohen was charged with this or not. The media was dead silent on Cohen after the first news came out probably because the media didn’t consider Cohen news any more. I also wondered if the old ladies ever got what he stole back. How come Trump’s lawyers didn’t bring up how Cohen seems to think he has a right to steal from anyone their money and his activity seems to follow him wherever he goes. He’s a longtime criminal who was getting away with stealing other people’s money and doing the stealing well.
