The immunity deal was earlier reported by The Wall Street Journal and Vanity Fair.
The Journal had reported earlier Thursday that American Media Inc. Chairman David Pecker gave prosecutors details about the president's knowledge of payments Cohen made to women alleging affairs with Trump.

duforsure
(11,885 posts)Is just another crack in the wall starting to crumble in on trump. All his sexual escapades with women to be exposed soon, and other things. trump will call him a liar and a crook to project his image onto him like he's been doing to everyone else. trumps a crook , and a serial liar, so nothing he says or claims is true. He can't deal with the truth, he's hated , and a complete failure in business.

Just like the rest of 'em, they'll rat 'cause they understand that Trump has no loyalty to anything or anybody except himself.

(11,527 posts)When I'd started hearing tidbits of how the Natl. Enquirer helped Spanky hush women's stories I'd hoped that Pecker would face criminal proceedings for his role in this. I suppose it's nearly as gratifying that it's come out that he's yet another 'snitch' against Spanky.

(10,130 posts)What this does suggest to me is law enforcement really wants to nail Trump.
This is another nail in his legal coffin.
They're using a lot of nails to make sure he doesn't slither away.
All these folks ratting him out has to make those remaining increasingly uncomfortable. It's going to be a little like musical chairs. When the feds stop the immunity offers music, they better have an immunity chair or they could be sitting in the slammer for a long time.
