Pecker resumed his testimony on Tuesday morning after Trump's gag order hearing. He said that he has known Trump since the 1980s and they had a "great relationship." He said that when Trump was doing The Apprentice, he would let him know ahead of time who was about to be fired so he could have the story first. He said they typically spoke about once a month, but that changed in 2015 and he spoke to him more often when Trump ran for president.

Pecker said that he visited Trump at Trump Tower on multiple occasions, and that he observed him at work reviewing invoices and signing checks. He said he was "detail oriented ... almost a micro-manager" about his business affairs. Pecker said he first met Michael Cohen at bar mitzvah.

He said that Trump introduced him to Cohen in 2007 and told him in 2015 that if anything came across his desk that pertained to him including any rumors about him that he should call Michael Cohen and let him know about it. He said that is when things started to get busy on the Trump front and he was contacted Cohen "almost daily" during the 2016 campaign.

Pecker said he was invited by Trump to his campaign announcement in June 2015 where he came down the golden escalator. In an email to Pecker, Michael Cohen wrote, "No one deserves to be there more than you."

1. "He said he was "detail oriented ... almost a micro-manager" about his business affairs"

2. Um, this is an important piece of testimony

It's not enough to prove Stormy Daniels was paid off. Prosecution needs to prove Trump was involved in business decision to hid the payments.

4. I was referring to the rest of his "businesses"

I’m sure he was deeply involved in this is because he was cutting a check

6. Someone wrote a book about Chump - it was either Wayne Barrett or David Cay Johnston

Or maybe it was Tony Schwartz, the real author of "The Art of the Deal." I'm going back a long ways, before Chump even considered running for president.

Chump would foster this story about himself being a "micro-manager" by putting on a good show, agonizing over every little decision concerning carpets, drapes, furniture, and other appointments of the condos and hotels he managed. That's how he spent all of his time, meanwhile the hotels were losing money and casinos crashing because nobody was actually managing anything.

I'm pretty sure that's how David Pecker got the idea that Chump was a micro-manager. It was all for show, and Pecker was still a media source.

5. Pecker met Cohen at a Bar Mitzvah.

I wonder if he attended any bris celebrations.
