David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified at Donald Trump's trial Tuesday that the tabloid completely manufactured a negative story in 2016 about the father of Sen. Ted Cruz, of Texas, who was then Trump's rival for the GOP presidential nomination.

The paper had published a photo allegedly showing Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963, not long before Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy.


Trump repeatedly referred to the story on the campaign trail and in interviews.

“I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?” Trump said in an interview with Fox News in May 2016. “It’s horrible.”

Manhattan prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked Pecker about the story's origins during the trial Tuesday in Manhattan. Pecker said that then-National Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard and the tabloid's research department got involved, and Pecker indicated that they faked the photo that was the foundation for the story.

“We mashed the photos and the different picture with Lee Harvey Oswald. And mashed the two together. And that’s how that story was prepared — created I would say," Pecker said on the witness stand.

Steinglass also entered into evidence National Enquirer headlines published during the 2016 race about Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who was also running for president. They suggested that he had a love child and had a connection to cocaine.

Asked why the tabloid ran stories about the senators and candidate Ben Carson, Pecker said, "After the Republican debates, and based on the success that some of the other candidates had, I would receive a call from Michael Cohen, and he would direct me and direct Dylan Howard which candidate and which direction we should go.”

Tabloid Publisher Testifies Trump Asked Him to ‘Help the Campaign’​

“Mr. Pecker said that the pivotal moment was an August 2015 meeting at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan.”

An outcome of that Trump Tower meeting were negative headlines attacking Mr. Trump’s rivals and positive stories that promoted him. Prosecutors said that negative coverage included stories about Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio while they were seeking the Republican Party’s nomination.

More Pecker leaks! Was there anything that Trump would not do to win? No wonder he threw a fit when he lost. Talk about having the media in your pocket.

Trump is one rotten person.

Uh, no. You're doing the time wasting troll act agan.

Is publishing a fake story illegal if you pass it off as truth?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Trump is one rotten person.

You're 120 years old, you've seen lots of rotten people.

That's ok, retard. We know you are a Trump asslicking cultist so the post going over your pinhead is understandable.

Of course, you don't. If you did, you wouldn't be a retard, now, would you?

Lying during a campaign or someone lying for you is not illegal. Harry Reid was never charged in criminal court.
