folks will recall that yesterday under cross examination he referenced arnold schwarzenegger and the fact that they had a similar relationship with the former california governor during his campaign in the early 2000s in california, but the distinction that the prosecution is now making through david pecker is that there is no more than $20,000 ever spent on sourcing to quash any negative stories about schwarzenegger and there's no previous candidate ever including schwarzenegger in which david pecker or the "national enquirer" had agreed to be the eyes and ears in work with such direct cahoots with a candidate or with the campaign, and they once again just had david pecker acknowledge that by buying the rights to karen mcdougal's story that there was, quote, zero intention to ever publish her story, that it was all an effort to, quote, help candidate donald trump. the prosecution wants this afternoon in finishing its redirect to hone in for this jury. again, the focus that david pecker is here to tell the story that, number one, they used david pecker and the "national enquirer" to

it's the only president, that's for certain, but we heard about arnold schwarzenegger, for example, so it wasn't the first time this has happened. we heard about this other times before. in fact, there was a relationship starting in 1998 with the former president who then was not the president. i think the defense did score some points but not as much as they think because pecker came across as a pretty reasonable, regular guy, maybe there was some mistakes in his memory, but not some malicious ill-willed person. i think they scored points but not as much as they would like to have. >> let me go back to vaughn hillyard. get us a recap of the highlights of the day, and we'll talk about them on the other side. look, this is what happens in trials, right? the prosecution tries to shore up the testimony. the defense tries to knock it down. that's exactly how it goes in every trial. but in this trial, what were some of the key moments that you saw? >> reporter: over the course of the three hours this morning of the cross-examination of david pecker, the team for donald trump was trying to h

they had a bunch of bad information on arnold schwarzenegger. there's claims in "the new york times" that i had not seen before this weekend that they had done the same thing with tiger woods. they wanted tiger woods to do things. he sold magazines so they held the information they had on him. so they have done this vague pattern, this big scale pattern with other people. the difference is when they did it with donald trump, they only did it when it came to the election. prosecutors said today in their opening statement they had never before paid any for information related to donald trump. when it came to keeping donald trump on the good side, what that meant, what that keeping trump happy, what were they paying to make all these stories go away for? it wasn't to get donald trump exclusives in their magazine. it was to help him win the election. that's when it became a crime. that's why ami had to get limited immunity. that's why michael cohen had to go to prison. they weren't trying to just keep him happy like tiger woods and cosby. >> because

we heard about tiger woods, arnold schwarzenegger, other people like that. i think he's been a solid witness for the government and a good way to start. prosecutors have this idea of rules of primacy and recency. when the jury deliberates, they're likely to remember the first witness they heard and the last witness they heard. you want to start strong and end strong and put the more challenging witnesses in the middle. i imagine michael cohen, and if she testifies, stormy daniels, will come somewhere in the middle because they'll get beat up a little bit. you want to start strong and end strong, and i think they succeeded in starting strong. >> jon meacham, i'm thinking about you sitting here as a presidential historian listening to this conversation. we've become so inured to everything donald trump does, his personal behavior the last ten years, and we're so familiar with some of the details of the cases, we sort of talk through them. when you take a step back and think about just this week, a president who is sitting in a courtroom over a hush money payme
