Trump's Pecker to Make Appearance in the Witness Box.

Trump's friend, David Pecker is expected to be the first witness.

April 22 (Reuters) - David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, is expected to be the first witness for the prosecution of former U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, when he is certain to be asked about a scheme at the heart of the hush-money trial.

The New York Times on Sunday reported Pecker was set to go first, citing an unidentified person familiar with plan.
Here's a look at Pecker's role and what he may testify about:

- Pecker was the chief executive of American Media and publisher of tabloid newspaper the National Enquirer from 1999 until August 2020.
- He was a longtime friend of Trump who helped cover up potentially damaging stories about the businessman and candidate ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign.
- It was unclear whether Pecker agreed to testify voluntarily or is being compelled by subpoena, or how close he may still be to the former president.
