As (relatively) quickly as the jury selection process went, the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan for allegedly falsifying business records to mask payments made to Stormy Daniels for a non-disclosure agreement has been plodding along in its second week. In part, that’s due to the early dismissals on Monday and Tuesday for Passover. But the prosecution’s first witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, is still on the stand as we close out the week. He’s now being cross-examined by the defense, and that part of the process should be briefer than the five-plus hours spent on direct examination. (Cross-examination almost always is, by its very nature.)
