This image of ex-National Enquirer publisher David Pecker at the White House with then-President Donald Trump was admitted as trial evidence in Trump’s hush money criminal case.

Exhibits that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office admitted as evidence were shown during former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial Thursday. 

One of them is a photo of David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, and Trump at the White House.

Another exhibit is the licensing agreement between American Media Inc. and Playboy playmate Karen McDougal. Pecker testified in court that he negotiated a deal that would give McDougal $150,000 for the rights to her story that she and Trump had an affair. 

The agreement, dated August 5, 2016, also included that McDougal was going to get a monthly column on aging and fitness in Star and OK Magazines.

The invoice for the payment to McDougal’s lawyer, Keith Davidson, is also included in the exhibits, among other documents and text messages.
