“Pecker offered to help deal with negative stories about that presidential candidate’s relationships with women by, among other things, assisting the campaign in identifying such stories so they could be purchased and their publication avoided.”

In one sense, there is nothing new because we already knew of the Enquirer’s “catch and kill” policy, but we learned from his testimony that the purpose of that policy was to influence the election, and this was decided in agreement with Cohen and an as yet unnamed official of the Trump campaign.
You wouldn’t happen to be a Congressman, would you?
