Media expert Brian Stelter discusses David Pecker's testimony during Trump's hush money trial about aiding the former president in suppressing negative stories throughout the 2016 campaign. #CNN #News
America, the joke isn’t funny anymore, imprison this dangerous pathological narcissist and move on.
We’re working on it! Granted, it’s taking way too long.
@kathimeci5179 Thank you 🇺🇸, Sincerely yours, from all your northern friends 🇨🇦
Hes a show right now we can only hope it gets cancelled
Agreed. We've been shown our a$$es and have found out where our democracy needs shoring up but it will only benefit us if we actually enact laws that fix the problems.

Nothing and I mean nothing could be as profound of a betrayal as the attack on January 6. Never forget. Justice for America.
The ACTUAL NEWS FOOTAGE of this should be rerun UNTIL "Trumps' faithful" PERHAPS FINALLY "CATCH ON"!
The Truth is coming out know. Seems like they had some inside government help.
AGREED 💯
Agreed, which is why the committee investigating Jan 6 withheld information in their report which was favourable to trump. Why would they do that if they knew trump had done the wrong thing?
It’s not a betrayal, IT’S CALLED THE TRUTH!!!
A profound betrayal? It's called telling the truth!!
Yeah but that concept is foreign to Trump so to him it is a betrayal...in his head though
We all know how much the truth matters in Trump World. Not at all.
A betrayal by friends is the worst kind of betrayal especially when these people are liars like Cohen and Little Pecker!
You can bet there is far more at stake here for any publisher of the National Inquirer, past, present or future, to tell the truth beyond mere civic duty. He is probably exchanged his testimony for the authorities dropping all investigations into his criminal culpability in these Trump matters. He will also likely benefit from the prime time publicity for his former (used toilet) paper. He is likely a stock owner and will see revenue sharing benefits such as an increase in stock dividends come his way. That could be peanuts though compared to a payoff he could get from the current head of the company, again, related to the publicity generated by his testimony. NI is trash. So is every person who earns a black nickel from its operation, from the owners on down to the delivery drivers.
What they did was a crime. When you admit a crime, you’re not betraying your partner in crime. Reword this and correct it to your audience.
If its the truth it's not called betrayal, its called honesty.. Many Republicans don't really understand what that is.
Too much Kool aid consumed
EXACTLY!! That headline speaks volumes...not good ...
Most if not all...do not understand or give a damn...
Pecker has no affinity of any kind for "honesty." He's telling the truth because it's the only way to save HIS OWN butt. There is no other reason for him. If he thought he could get away with continuing the lie, he'd keep lying. The "betrayal" is a true betrayal. . . saving HIS butt by selling Trump's butt. Good for justice, but don't make a hero out of a rat for abandoning a sinking ship to save his own life.
You are so right ☺️
"Pecker screws Trump." News headline of the century.
Brilliant
"Under Pecker Probe, Trump Farts."
A Pecker testifies against a prick . News at 11.
Perfect. Best of the week 🙌
Clinton conspired to win the 2016 election with the Washington Post. Made-up stories and agreed to not publish certain stories! Same issues.
Brian Stelter is a man of high principles. His credibility is more evident than ever. I hope CNN will call on him more.
Apparently you have not really followed Stelter for years. He is a slimey propagandist-no matter what side of this issue you take.
Brian? Thats Humpty Dumpty!
Lock this criminal up NOW!!!

Thank you. 🥂
Thank you Pecker for choosing the truth over Trump
Pecker must have sung for immunity.
@@elizabethwitt2621So what?😊
@elizabethwitt2621 he has an immunity deal, and also, AMI can't try to sue him.
@@elizabethwitt2621he did. Smart man.
He chose immunity over Trump. He's one of the few not willing to go to jail for the Orange Menace.
Evangelical Christians still love this guy. Insane.
They’re not really genuine Christians if they do. DJT is Satan’s disciple. If they would actually read the entire Bible and not just pick and choose the verses that fit their narrative they would see he’s described perfectly in the Bible as the Antichrist.
Thye show us everyday they have never read a single word in their bibles.
It’s called being a hypocrite and incredibly gullible
They are the craziest of all. maga
They are not Christian. Trump has broken 9 of the ten commandments and has zero remorse. If you believe in the bible Trump is headed for a very unpleasant place
It's "HARD" to believe "PECKER " STANDs UP !
It was going to happen, eventually.
Maybe a "shot of Viagara" or THREAT OF IMMINANT JAIL?
Pecker….gag order 🤔
Everything Cohen says seems to be backed up by other evidence at every level.
he has no reason to lie. He already served jail time for Trump.
He spent many many years lying for Trump, but once he stopped, that man said nothing but truth.
This is exactly why making Pecker the first witness is a brilliant move! It sets the stage so that the only credibility needed from Cohen is, 'Yeah... that s**t happened! I went to prison for it!"
Cohen is man enough to admit wrong.
Remember that Cohen was convicted of a crime as "A" (Cohen) in service to "B"(Trump) wherein "B" benefited in that a potential scandal was averted prior to the 2016 Presidential election.
If the Pecker fits, you can’t acquit!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Clever
Ha ha!
Telling the truth is not betrayal. It's insane why anyone would perjury themselves for a monster like dumpster fire
America Over MAGA 💯💯
Telling the truth is not a betrayal or lack of loyalty. It’s doing what is right, it’s acting with integrity.
Unlike what Pecker originally did for Trump. That was decidedly without integrity.
Pecker is covering his own A**. He's not going down for the likes of trump.
You are bad at English.
Pecker already told his story and got immunity to testify right? He had to testify or he might go to jail.
OMG! Did you fall off the turnip truck yesterday? This AH is only testifying to save his own ass from criminal prosecution related to these matters and is probably getting paid off by the current head of the NI (used toilet) paper for all the prime time publicity (good or bad!) for the paper through his testimony. Loyalty and integrity are not character attributes of people that run (or have or will run) this kind of scourge journalism.
I hate this headline. This contributes to “anti-snitch” culture. Telling the truth is NOT a betrayal. Telling the truth is being loyal to our country and institutions and our fellow Americans. Only if you are a criminal does the truth count as “betrayal.”
Your right, c n n are trying to play both sides again, telling the truth is not betrayal
being honest is not betrayal
It's that Trump, the malignant narcissist, sees it as a betrayal.
Well, I think the point is that _Trump_ considers it a betrayal. But Trump considers anyone telling damaging or embarrassing truths about him a betrayal of the worst kind because he is a massive malignant narcissist who thinks that everything he does should be allowed if it benefits him.
OFTEN, "telling the truth" is THE LAST RESORT for these "folks"!
great to see Stelter on CNN again!
What’s done in the dark always comes out in the light.
Especially when "a Pecker" is involved!
Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!!

The fact this happened through the national inquirer says a lot about trump supporters. Propagandic journalism is what they live for.
The average Trump voter is/was the primary consumer of the national inquirer. That is why they fell for Trump's con.
Because CNN is an outstanding news source , with such great stories attacking trump daily, truthful or not. 😂 It's just a Propaganda network these days
The association with Rupert and Fox meets the same low level of journalism (aka propaganda).
Been telling grandparents the Enquirer will rot your brain for YEARS. We were right all along.
@@BadRobot99 The "uneducated", which were Dump's adored followers.
I'm very glad that Brian Stelter appeared as a guest with Caitlyn Collins. I appreciated his commentaries and was upset that he was fired. I thought he was a very good commentator. I'm glad to know that he has another job. Good on you Brian.
Yesterday sleeping and farting was trending regarding this case, and today it’s Pecker.
I believe this could be a porno!
How can it be a betrayal if it's the truth. Come on CNN.
GOOD POINT!!!!
you might want to google the word 'betrayal'.
For real...Trump's original betrayal(s) caused all of this!
Yes, that was a stupid choice of words.
It was betrayal to chump!
Michael Cohen went TO JAIL OVER THIS INDIVIDUAL ONE
NOW IT'S TRUMPY 💩 POO 💩 POO'S TURN 😅
Exactly - how could you send Cohen to jail for doing Trump’s bidding, but do nothing about Trump? Our justice system is better than that, hopefully.
Now he’s returning the favor
And Individual one had him put in solitary confinement.
@@howtheheckru8102 Karma is a bitch-put Trump in solitary confinement, no tweeting, no reason to stay up all night, just peace and quiet for all of us
Only a criminal sees the truth as a betrayal when in a court of law.
Wrong. Work on your English.
@@michaelmorningstar8645 Really? There is strictly nothing wrong with the English of this comment. Something else bothering you?
@@c.a.savage5689 He doesn't know what betrayal means.
Testifying in court is not a betrayal. It’s doing a very basic duty to the country-and to yourself if you want to stay out of jail.
Wrong.
Not in Trump's world.
Becker is not there out of his own free will. He was subpoaned to testify and tell the truth as he knows it, otherwise he is facing jail time. Whoever is saying it's a betrayal, maybe they should put themselves in David Pecker's shoes to see how it feels to be forced to testify about a sleazy scheme he was a part of in helping Trump win the election. We all know that if the shoes were on the other foot, Trump would throw Pecker under the bus in a NY minute and wouldn't loose a minute of sleep over it.
@@michaelmorningstar8645 wrong
David Pecker DOES NOT want his p----r in jail!
Honesty is not betrayal.
Please put Brian Stelter back on as a regular!
Trump keeps calling Cohen a liar, well Donny, you hired him.
He hired him to lie!
Here’s the deal. Trump can call Cohen a liar. All he wants. Trump has been found to be an adjudicated rapist, and he committed fraud guilty on both. At least Cohen redeemed himself. Trump is a national disgrace.
Cohen has every evidence to back up everything he's saying.
Like Trump doesn't lie daily 😮

Pecker was inside trumps inner circle.

Oh, that's goooood! Right on Don!
Wonder if "personal lubricant" was involved? Trump MAY need to use some in his future IF he gets "WHAT IS TRULY COMMING TO HIM!"
Nasty
Love to see Stelter back on CNN. Great coverage.

No wonder he wanted to delay,delay delay.....
You see it!

YOU CAN'T DELAY THE INEVITABLE FOREVER 😂

This is what happens when you have someone that has nothing to gain from you and doesn't want to go to jail for you....
Pecker is putting the wood to Trump! 😂
That would be a great Book Title, congrats.
😂😂😂
TAKE THAT TAKE DAT TAKE THAT 😅😂
He's taking him out behind the wood shed!
David is delivering a whooping!
I suppose we are now getting to know why Trump was so desperate for this case not to happen. Keep the popcorn coming.
CNN: Yes , I agree that we need to re-hire Mr. Stelter!
Pecker: "I would run or publish positive stories about Mr. Trump, and I would publish negative stories about his opponents." Like always, when Trump is accusing others of doing something then you know he or someone around him is definitely doing it.
Every accusation is a confession!
Sounds exactly like Fox "News".
HE'S SO PREDICTABLE 😂
The very same operation as Fox News
Fake news 😮. That's why he kept pushing that
At this point, there's no more room ' under the Trump bus '..
trump will trade his jet for a longer bus. You’ll see.
Lmao! Best internet comment all month!
That's very funny. 😂😂😂😂
There's plenty of room under the Trump bus. It's BIG! It's HUGE!
Bigley!
Stetler is very calm during the "urgent" updates. Real pro. And they were NOT breaking information
The liar in chief is being exposed! Thank you lord. Been waiting for this day for too long🙌🏽
Amen, Trump doesn't have an honest bone in his body. Truth & Honesty Matters!
Well done pecker, fantastic job, thanks for your honesty
He knows he was involved and it's documented, so he won't go to prison for Donnie.
Mr Pecker "the pleasure was all mine".
Now, THIS would be a porno!
I don't believe I've heard the word "Pecker" that many times in 8 minutes before!
The should have a warning for small children!
I wonder if he was friends with Wiener!¡??😅 (Andrew, also a NY politician)
In this case Pecker wasn’t acting like a prick!
Morning Woodpecker.

Stelter never should have been let go
Years ago I used to read the "Enquire" like a comic book. It amused me but barely spoke of something informative.
SOME of "The National Enquirer's" filler articles (common sense stuff) were accurate. I believe that these were published to make "their public" believe THE REAL CONS they printed were truth! "Fox News" televises this EVERY DAY! LIES with "tiny sprinkles" of truth to make things "acceptable"!
Definitely guilty. No doubt. For sure.
Its sad that our country has to go through this but its satisfying to see donald trump facing justice. He is a terrible person, this should've happened sooner . Biden is a good dude 😎 vote blue 💙
I would not call Trump a terrible person. Monster fits him better. There is no better word to describe him.
If they would have impeached him America would be in this position. Shame on the GOP. They are just as much as fault. Remember Susan Collins saying "I think he learned his lesson " Really??? YOU voted NOT to impeached him!! The GOP is a joke!!
Pecker wasn't falling on his sword for Trump
"LOCK HIM UP"! Make America Sane Again!
Why betrayal?? Isn't he supposed to say the truth and nothing but the truth, so help him God?
It's a betrayal because Trump actually expects people to lie in court for him.
I’m guessing is betrayal for Trump since he requires loyalty above all like the Don mob that he is.
Betrayal is betrayal no matter who thinks you should do it.
@@michaelmorningstar8645 , so you'd lie in court and go to jail for perjury for trumpito?
@@arianamarsello4739 No. I don't like trump anymore than you. I'm just better at English.

Telling the truth is not a betrayal... especially when it will help to save our country
If all the people who were close to him are speaking out against him and saying he's horrible, then he's a horrible human being. 😆 All the aides, all the generals, all the professionals, and others...
Anyone know the pecking order at the organization? Pretty relevant I think 🤔
"Betrayal"? Or are people just tired of the one sided connection to the sinking ship?

Thank you for the play/play coverage.
Rule of Law is actually a thing.
The prosecutors can’t say what’s exactly the crime that Trump was trying to cover up by “falsifying” business records (there were no falsifications to begin with). An election laws violation? Well, the federal government brought no charges. So what’s exactly the crime????

It’s called the truth, you have to tell it in court. Apparently just a suggestion not a rule in the journalism industry and news networks.

Brian Stelter is an excellent journalist. Thanks bruv.
Wait, so you mean the National Enquirer isn't a real news magazine and is just an adult comic???? Who knew...
I remember my grandmother reading every edition of this rag. The moment it was on the grocery store shelves she bought it and would read it and comment and speculate about every boring stupid story in the paper. She actually believed most of the stories, ugh. And she kept them all too. When my grandparents moved across the country from California to Missouri, she insisted on taking all of her "magazines" along. She also read The Star and The Globe and kept them all too. My grandfather was a saint, I swear. While they were packing up 2 large U-Haul trucks with all their things, my cousin was there with my uncle to help, and he conspired with them to take boxes of the papers outside at night after grandma went to sleep and burn them. They managed to get rid of over half saying they were in the truck. When the trucks were being unloaded, she didn't notice the loss for quite some time, but was pretty furious when she figured out they were gone. But they all swore they had been packed, they didn't know how they ended up going missing. Off topic in a sense I guess, but it is just to show that a lot of people read them and believing the stories to be true, so they probably still do today. And this was about 35 years ago. I still don't know how anyone can pay for, read, and believe these rag mags unless it is something they want to believe. Crazy is real.

Ironically enough, the "help" wasn't needed. His devotees still would have voted for him.
I'm not too sure about that. At least not back then. And a big part of getting him elected was demonizing Hilary Clinton and his primary opponents, which the enquirer played a significant part in.
Oh, that's gotta hurt.
