Arnie Schwarzenegger dragged into Trump trial during tabloid boss’s testimony
www.independent.co.uk
David Pecker testified that The Terminator actor asked him not to publish negative stories about him while he was running for governor of California

Although this came to light in the past, it was again reveled during Trump’s election interference trial. In a quid pro quo arrangement, Arnold agreed to remain editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines, if the National Enquirer would kill stories that could damage Arnold’s carefully crafted image.

    “I plan on running for governor and I would like you to not publish any negative stories about me now and in the future, and I’ll continue being the editor of *Muscle & Fitness *and Flex and be a spokesperson.”

    This is very different from what Trump did. What Arnold did is not blatantly illegal.

      Yes, no allegation Arnold fraudulently used campaign funds. The rest is the same. I suspect Arnold listens to his handlers and is not ignorant enough to commit crimes to cover his tracks.
