david pecker. to vaughn's point about unspoken, unknown details, according to prosecutes today, it was trump who invited david pecker to come to this meeting at trump tower in 2015. they were joined by michael cohen there. when we've seen that meeting described and public filings, it comes across really differently. they say there was a meeting between cohen and pecker and a third member of the trump campaign. we know from our colleague tom winters reporting in 2018 -- >> do we have that? okay. we're, we went back and we found, it actually circulated on social media. tom winter is a pro's pro and probably the kind of reporter that lives in both worlds. that does talk to those kinds of sources that know where people move and with whom they move. let me show you that report about that meeting and who was in it. >> the first discussion of this so-called catch and kill come up in august 2015. so the "wall street journal" reported back in november and nbc news has now confirmed that in fact the other ca

you don't have a relationship with david pecker if you're not hiding something. >> you must look at david pecker because i think that he is a key to if you engaged in this, we're going to pay somebody to hide this story. it already shows the kinds of steps you would take to try and win, and even if it is in -- if not illegal, certainly unethical ways. you're going to actually engage in a deal as donald trump has done, with pecker to say somebody comes to something bad, buy the story and hide it. well, there's not much of a leap to go from there to saying i want to change and falsify some records. and i think that he can be a very damaging witness and damaging politically for trump when you've got a guy saying i did business with him, to bury things, and that can have some serious indications on what's going on in 2024. this is the kind of guy he is. but i agree with neil. i don't think donald trump would go on that stand if you had the court officers lift him out the chair and put him there because he doesn't want to ever have to answer direct questions. >> right. >> don't forget if they

hope hicks is on the list, never been on the list before, david pecker, long-time friend, hasn't spoken in a forum this publicly. he was an accomplice. he had some limited immunity when sdny looked at these facts. what is your sense of what is possible in terms of trump and his allies targeting these witnesses? >> it seems like a lot of it could be soft intimidation. i've talked to michael cohen, a lot of us have, about how concerned he is about his safety. i've talked to him, it's real for him. they're not providing him any help in terms of extra security or things like that, and when he walks down the street, somebody comes up to him, he doesn't know how that's going to go, and i think that part of it isn't just that somebody's threatening you, it's the seed that they plant that gets you worried and you're always looking over your shoulder. i think that stormy daniels and michael cohen come to mind in particular, about two people that have been targeted and there's hate sent to them on social media. at a certain point, you don't know what's going to happen. those sort of threats are e
