The underbelly of New York City's tabloid media industry was laid bare in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday.

A famous publisher outlined a secret plan he had with Donald Trump and his personal lawyer Michael Cohen, calling it an "agreement among friends".

Prosecutors questioned former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker for nearly three hours.

He testified that the three worked to suppress negative stories about the candidate during his 2016 campaign.
