And...this is why you pack the courts...David Pecker, the head of the company that publishes the National Enquirer, has spoken with federal prosecutors in New York, sources with knowledge of the meeting told CNN. The meeting was part of the New York District Attorney office’s investigation into the Trump Organization’s handling of hush-money payments to women who alleged affairs with President Trump, the sources said. Trump has denied the affairs.
[...]
Pecker allegedly met with [Trump's one-time lawyer Michael] Cohen and at least one other member of Trump’s campaign in August 2015 to discuss potentially damaging stories to then-candidate Trump, according to a non-prosecution agreement that AMI, the parent company of the Enquirer, signed with federal prosecutors in New York. Pecker’s meeting with prosecutors could make him a critical witness in any future legal action against Trump or the Trump Organization. It also reveals that investigators are looking to find connections between Trump and the hush-money payments. The DA office’s investigation is ongoing while their efforts to subpoena the president’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, for business and personal tax returns heads to the Supreme Court.

Any bets? ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.The Supreme Court has temporarily stayed a House Oversight Committee subpoena for Donald Trump’s financial records from his accounting firm. According to The Washington Post, the justices will consider whether the Court will hear Trump’s appeal on the subpoena in an expedited review. The president’s legal team must file their petition explaining why the the Court should hear the case by Dec. 5. If denied, the lower court ruling granting Congress access to the documents will go into effect. If accepted, the Supreme Court will likely hear the case and make a decision before the end of June.
