Trump attorney is revisiting Pecker’s January 2017 meeting with Trump
Bove is revisiting Pecker’s January 6, 2017, meeting with Trump at Trump Tower.
Bove walks through Pecker’s previous testimony that Reince Priebus, Mike Pompeo, Sean Spicer and James Comey were in Trump’s office standing around his desk when Pecker walked in.
Bove confirmed Pecker’s testimony that he believed they were discussing a shooting in Fort Lauderdale.
Bove asks Pecker for more details about how he was let into the office while Trump was being briefed on a domestic national emergency.
“Mr. Trump has a large office, and I was by the door while they were talking with Mr. Trump,” Pecker says.
Pecker clarified he didn’t overhear the national security conversation. Bove asks Pecker if he knew there was another consequence of that meeting.
Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass objected and the lawyers are now at the bench.
Judge Juan Merchan sustains the objection.
Trump attorney Todd Blanche spoke to Trump after returning to the defendant’s table.
