abrams. how did pecker do? >> i think he did rhetty well for the prosecution. he lays the foundation key to the prosecution's case, which is that the falsification of the business records was about something else. the something else was to protect him in the 2016 campaign. pecker making the point he had never done one of these catch and kill deals before the 2015 point when michael cohen and donald trump are meeting with him and talking about how to deal with potentially negative stories. that's all very powerful and helpful for them on that critical legal question. >> george: how about any openings for the defense in his testimony? >> at the very end he said, when it came to karen mcdougal, who was a playboy model, who he's alleged to have had an affair with, where they paid $150,000. he apparently said to david pecker i don't buy stories. so that is something that certainly the defense is going to focus on to say, wait a second. didn't you say donald trump doesn't buy stories? pecker may say they ended up changing their mind. they ended up changing their minds. but from the defense
