Day 8 of Trump New York hush money trial

Bove is focusing on a portion of the statement of facts in a non-prosecution agreement Pecker reached with federal investigators in 2018.

It relates to an August 2015 meeting at Trump Tower.

Bove is asking Pecker about his statements about that meeting during his October 2019 interview with the district attorney's office.

He asks Pecker whether he recalls that his lawyer said at the 2019 meeting that a section of the statement of facts, paragraph three, was "wrong and inaccurate." Pecker says he does not recall this.

Trump is leaning forward and staring at the screen as Pecker reviews the record from the October 2019 meeting.

"I think that may be inaccurate. I think that came up with the feds. I have never heard Pecker say that," is captured in notes from the meeting, which Bove read aloud.

Pecker says there was a dispute over a single word: "Selling and purchasing is the same thing. Someone has to buy them."

Key context: The defense is working to poke holes in Pecker's claims and raise doubt about his recollection of events regarding the National Enquirer's relationship with Trump, as he is serving as a key witness for the prosecution.

Bove has spent much of the cross-examination trying to dismantle Pecker's credibility, highlighting small inconsistencies in Pecker's statements to prosecutors over the years in comparison to his trial testimony.

The jury has been paying attention as Bove continues to cross-examine Pecker.

Their eyes have followed the back-and-forth between of them.

Remember: The jury is comprised of 12 jurors and six alternate jurors. Read about them here.

Donald Trump's attorneys cross-examined David Pecker on Friday morning, poking holes at the veracity of his comments and pointing out a discrepancy between Pecker's 2018 FBI testimony and his testimony in court this week.

Most of the questions centered around American Media Inc.'s business interests, beginning on the topic of running negative articles about Trump's foes, including the Clintons and Ben Carson. The defense was trying to establish that Pecker’s actions were made in line with the company's bottom line in mind.

Here are some of the key points from the cross examination of Pecker:

CNN's Kristina Sgueglia contributed reporting to this post.

Pecker confirmed there was a provision related to the federal investigations in a deal with Hudson News Group regarding the sale of the National Enquirer and two other tabloids.

The investigations had to be resolved before the deal could be finalized, he confirmed. The proposed deal was worth $100 million.

Bove asked whether the federal investigation "put some pressure on the negotiations."

Pecker paused before answering. "From a timing standpoint, it would have added onto the stress of the transaction," Pecker said.

"If AMI had been indicted that would have affected the value of its assets," Bove asked while emphasizing "indicted." Pecker agreed.

Bove asked Pecker whether there was a "price pressure" on the agreement. "To Hudson News, the federal investigation was going to reduce the earnings of those magazines," Pecker said.

Bove again confirms with Pecker that American Media Inc. entered into a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors.

Bove asks Pecker whether the meetings with FBI agents were stressful.

"You wanted it over with though, right?" he asks.

"Uh, yes," Pecker says.

Bove is asking Pecker about the time FBI agents came to his home in 2018.

Three agents arrived around 8 a.m. and took Pecker's phone with a search warrant, but did not search his house, the former tabloid boss testifies.

Bove is resuming his cross examination of Pecker.

Judge Juan Merchan is back on the bench. Pecker is returning to the courtroom.

Trump is chatting with Bove before we begin. Trump is seated between Bove and attorney Susan Necheles. Attorney Todd Blanche is the farthest away from him now.
