Pecker is now describing receiving a call from Trump while he was at an investors meeting in New Jersey.
Pecker says of the phone call: "When I got on the phone, Mr. Trump said to me, 'I spoke to Michael. Karen is a nice girl. Is it true that a Mexican group is looking to buy the story for $8 million?'"
According to Pecker, Trump said, "What do you think I should do?"
Pecker testified that he said, "I think you should buy the story and take it off the market"
“I believe that when Mr. Trump said that ‘She was a nice girl,’ I believe that he knew who she was," Pecker said.
He felt it'd be "very embarrassing" for Trump and for the campaign, Pecker said.
