Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, now the governor of Arkansas, was intimately involved in covering up Donald Trump's extramarital liaisons, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker testified last week, Politico reported.

According to Pecker, who as testifying in Donald Trump's Manhattan criminal trial on Friday, Sanders participated in a conference call in which Pecker revealed plans to extend a hush money agreement with Playboy model Karen McDougal, who allegedly had sex with Trump. Hope Hicks, another White House aide, was also on the call, he said. “They thought that it was a good idea,” Pecker testified.

This is the first time Sanders' name has been brought up in Trump's ongoing hush money trial, in which the former president stands accused of falsifying business records to hide payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. Hicks will reportedly testify at a later date.

Sanders' alleged involvement is "something that I would categorize as unethical behavior," said former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews, who appeared on MSNBC on Sunday to discuss Trump's legal woes. Matthews resigned from the Trump administration following the Jan. 6 insurrection.

1. Sarah Huckabuck studied the book

The Art of The Deal. She’s a big deal in Hope.

[BlueKota]

2. The plot thickens.

The Republican party is not only a cult but a cabal. Most of them belong in prison.

[Demobrat]

3. Subpoena her.

Stick her on the stand and make her testify.

[joshdawg]

7. I'd love to hear how she would break

trump's record of "I plead the 5th."

[GoodRaisin]

28. Subpoena her amyway. Draw the trial out longer.

Every day this goes on keeps Trump in his hot seat. Also helps shine light on the Huckabee criminal family and low character of the Arkansas governor.

[ShazzieB]

4. Very happy to see Sarah Huckleberry publicly embarrassed.

I cannot stand that woman. Kayleigh McEnany wasn't really an improvement, but at least she didn't 🔥seethe🔥 with hostility like Huckleberry did.

[twodogsbarking]

5. Well this is bigger than, well, a podium.

[Kid Berwyn]

6. Then one day, thanks to Arkansas taxpayers, her biggest dream came true.

[OMGWTF]

9. Reminds me of the motorized podium on SNL that a parody of Sean Spicer used to terrorize reporters.

He actually hid in the bushes to escape reporters after Shitler fired James Comey.

[Kid Berwyn]

11. Like cockroaches when there's light.

Trump, Spicer and Putin did not invite the White House press corpse to attend the following Oval Office gathering in May, 2017. The two VIPs are the then- Ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak, and the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov. They did invite Russian news agency TASS.



Inside Joke:

Then pee-resident Trump gestures to Russia's then-ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, as he speaks to still-Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the Oval Office on Wednesday, May 10, 2017. (Alexander Shcherbak/TASS/Getty Images)

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off…I’m not under investigation.”

They all laughed.

19. "White House press corpse" is appropriate.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

30. Maria Butina is there, too.

To the right of the hideous pasty Russians. Wonder why she's cropped out.

[Kid Berwyn]

32. Maria Butina was there? Wow o wow.

She's the GRU-NRA-GOP-Putin-Navalny Connection. Would not be surprised if that really is her, way off right in the official TASS photo.



For some reason, the article in the New York Times doesn't mention her cheery presence, either.

8. By the way, we know what Trump paid Stormy on the back end to keep quiet.

Was she paid on the front end to ... well, you know. I've never seen that question asked.

Sarah Sanders in on the cleanup crew? Holy Roller Sanitation.

[OMGWTF]

10. I heard an interview with Stormy who said she was lured to Shitler's hotel room thinking it was a business meeting.

He laid on the bed and pulled out his lil' mushroom and she said, "Oh, we're doing this?"

[onetexan]

12. unethical my ass, more like complicit

[2naSalit]

13. WAY more like...

[FakeNoose]

14. I'm sure Ms. Sanders was hired as a back-channel conduit to the evangelical base

After all, her dad is a Southern Baptist minister AND a former Arkansas Governor.
I hope Sarah's on the witness list, along with Hope Hicks.

[dembotoz]

23. In church we are told to lead by example

And the example she sets is well.....interesting.
all churches are not the same. I would not prosper in a church where she and her daddy found a home.

the old hymn goes...and they'll know we are christians by our love, by our love...
and they'll know we are christians by our love....

good luck with that

15. It's only gonna get worse, Grifterbee. You should resign and retain an atty n/t

[mahina]

18. I call her Sarah Slanders but Grifterbee has a ring to it too.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

20. I called her daddy that way back in the '00s. He was an awful Guv n/t

[twodogsbarking]

16. She has the face for radio.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

21. And a voice for Silent Films n/t

[MorbidButterflyTat]

31. You two are funny

[Octopi7up]

27. New face

You think she was paid off? Maybe used her payoff to get a new face. The horseshoe indentation no longer sits in the middle of her face but the heart is still mangled. How do you remove laws to protect child labor?

[twodogsbarking]

29. Greetings.

[Tom of Temecula]

17. My understanding

... is SHS didn't receive one.

[Escurumbele]

22. Please raise your hands if you are surprised by this news about Huckabee...What, no hands?

What an awful woman.

[republianmushroom]

24. "Unethical behavior": Sarah Huckabee Sanders had/has ethics ?

[Vinca]

25. They should call Huckleberry to testify. Burst her little "Christian" bubble.

[ificandream]

26. Made my day to hear this.
