Sure, I can help with that. Here's a rewritten version of the content:
In New York, a lawyer representing former Playboy model Karen McDougal testified about his efforts to share her story of an affair with Donald Trump with the National Enquirer during the 2016 presidential campaign. Attorney Keith Davidson, who also represented porn star Stormy Daniels, texted the Enquirer's editor about having "a blockbuster story" that the tabloid, supporting Trump's campaign, would want to purchase and suppress. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump, facing a historic hush money trial, was held in criminal contempt and fined $9,000 for violating a judge's gag order. Trump, the first former president to face a criminal trial, is charged with doctoring business records to cover up reimbursements to his attorney. Trump criticized the ruling and blamed President Joe Biden for his legal troubles. However, there is no evidence linking Biden to the hush money case in New York, brought by the Manhattan district attorney. Trump continued to criticize Judge Juan Merchan, calling him "conflicted" and accusing him of rushing the case. He also criticized judges in his previous civil cases, both of which he lost, calling the system corrupt. The day's proceedings ended with Judge Merchan adjourning the trial, with Trump leaving the courtroom at 4:28 p.m. EST. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning to address whether Trump violated the judge's gag order four more times, in addition to the nine violations already ruled on. Davidson, frustrated with Cohen missing a deadline to pay Stormy Daniels' hush money, testified that he communicated the high level of dissatisfaction to Cohen. Cohen, in response, forwarded an email with money wiring instructions. In an exclusive interview with TIME magazine, Trump outlined his agenda for a possible second term, focusing on deporting undocumented immigrants, deploying the National Guard to stop protests, and urging Europe to pay more for international alliances.
Amidst the trial, text messages were revealed where National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard expressed concern about Trump's frugality, and Davidson warned of potential fallout if the Stormy Daniels deal fell through. Davidson also testified about his belief that Daniels would go public with her story after the payment was not made. Proceedings also revealed details about Cohen's demands regarding a document identifying the parties in the hush money deal and his frustration with the payment process. American Media Inc. (AMI), the parent company of the National Enquirer, was implicated in the trial, with former CEO David Pecker testifying about efforts to help Trump's campaign. Pecker stated that AMI bought McDougal's life story but refused to pay for Stormy Daniels'. The trial, which is not televised, has garnered significant public interest, with transcripts and evidence available online due to the unprecedented attention. Testimonies highlighted the impact of the Access Hollywood tape on public interest in Daniels' story and revealed Davidson's actions to protect McDougal's story. The trial also touched on Cohen's aggressive nature and Trump's responses to allegations. Farro, Cohen's banker, testified about the bank's procedures and how they might have reacted if they knew the purpose of Cohen's transactions. Trump's defense team argued against the introduction of certain evidence, while the prosecution aimed to establish patterns of behavior and consciousness of guilt. Trump's comments before the trial expressed frustration at being unable to campaign and criticized the legal proceedings, including the judge's decisions. Trump's social media posts were flagged for violating the gag order, with him facing fines for the violations. The trial is ongoing, with daily updates available through official transcripts and media coverage.
