National Enquirer ex-publisher David Pecker finished testifying Friday after being on the stand essentially all week as the first witness in in Donald Trump’s criminal trial over the ex-president’s alleged “hush-money” payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Former Trump assistant Rhona Graff testified very briefly today before Gary Farro, a banker for Trump’s former “fixer” lawyer Michael Cohen, took the stand.
