FIRST WITNESS, DAVID PECKER, TO THE STAND. THE FORMER PUBLISHER OF “THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER,” WHO PROSECUTORS SAY WAS PART OF A SCHEME CALLED CATCH-AND-KILL, BUYING UNFLATTERING STORIES ABOUT TRUMP AND NEVER PUBLISHING THEM.

ABC'S SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY LEADING US OFF AT THE COURTHOUSE AGAIN TONIGHT. >> Reporter: DONALD TRUMP WALKING INTO THE MANHATTAN COURTROOM WHERE TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY A JURY HEARD TESTIMONY IN A CRIMINAL.

CASE AGAINST A FORMER AMERICAN PRESIDENT. >> IT'S A VERY, VERY SAD DAY IN AMERICA. I CAN TELL YOU THAT. >> Reporter: WITH TRUMP SLOUCHING IN HIS SEAT AND SOMETIMES CLOSING HIS EYES, PROSECUTOR MATTHEW COLANGELO.

BEGAN HIS OPENING STATEMENT CHARGING TRUMP “ORCHESTRATED A CRIMINAL SCHEME TO CORRUPT THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.” JURORS LISTENING INTENTLY, SOME TAKING NOTES, AS THE PROSECUTOR LAID OUT HIS CASE, ACCUSING TRUMP OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO DISGUISE A.

$130,000 HUSH PAYMENT TO PORN STAR STORMY DANIELS DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION, SO VOTERS WOULDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT HER CLAIM OF AN AFFAIR. AT THE TIME, TRUMP WAS UNDER PRESSURE. NEWS HAD JUST BROKEN OF THE “ACCESS HOLLYWOOD” TAPE.

TRUMP CAUGHT ON CAMERA BRAGGING ABOUT GROPING WOMEN. THE PROSECUTOR TODAY QUOTING TRUMP'S OWN WORDS TO THE JURY. >> WHEN YOU'RE A STAR, THEY LET YOU DO IT. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. >> Reporter: “YOU CAN DO ANYTHING,” THE PROSECUTOR SLOWLY.

RECITING TO THE JURY. PROSECUTORS SAID THE TAPE'S IMPACT WAS “EXPLOSIVE” AND TRUMP AND HIS CAMPAIGN WERE “DEEPLY CONCERNED.” SO WHEN TRUMP LEARNED STORMY DANIELS WAS SHOPPING A STORY OF THEIR ALLEGED LIAISON, PROSECUTORS SAID HE WAS.

“ADAMANT” IT NOT COME OUT, FEARING, “IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING TO HIS CAMPAIGN.” PROSECUTORS ALLEGE, “AT TRUMP'S DIRECTION,” HIS FIXER MICHAEL COHEN PAID DANIELS OFF AND “AGREED TO COOK THE BOOKS,” SO WHEN TRUMP REIMBURSED HIM, IT APPEARED AS ROUTINE LEGAL BILLS.

THE PROSECUTOR CALLED IT A “CONSPIRACY TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 ELECTION TO HELP DONALD TRUMP GET ELECTED. ELECTION FRAUD, PURE AND SIMPLE.” IN HIS OPENING STATEMENT, DEFENSE ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE INSISTING, “PRESIDENT TRUMP IS.

INNOCENT. PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOT COMMIT ANY CRIMES.” “I HAVE A SPOILER ALERT,” HE TOLD THE JURY. “THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRYING TO INFLUENCE AN ELECTION. IT'S CALLED DEMOCRACY.” “THERE IS NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT.

ENTERING INTO A NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT,” HE CONTINUED. “PERIOD.” HE SAID TRUMP WAS UNAWARE OF ANY EFFORT TO CAMOUFLAGE THE PAYMENT TO DANIELS AS A BUSINESS EXPENSE. AND HE TOLD THE JURY, MICHAEL COHEN, A KEY PROSECUTION.

WITNESS, HAS “AN OBSESSION WITH GETTING TRUMP, HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED.” BUT PROSECUTORS INSIST THE ALLEGED CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO PROTECT TRUMP INVOLVED OTHERS INCLUDING THEIR FIRST WITNESS, DAVID PECKER, THE FORMER “NATIONAL ENQUIRER” PUBLISHER.

WHO ONCE CALLED TRUMP A PERSONAL FRIEND. AS PECKER TOOK THE STAND, TRUMP LEANED FORWARD, ARMS CROSSED, AN ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE. PECKER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED BUYING NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT THE CANDIDATE ONLY TO BURY THEM, A PRACTICE KNOWN AS.

CATCH-AND-KILL. ON THE STAND, PECKER WAS BLUNT, “WE USED CHECKBOOK JOURNALISM. WE PAID FOR STORIES.” HE'S TESTIFYING UNDER A SUBPOENA, HAVING CUT A DEAL WITH PROSECUTORS TO AVOID CHARGES HIMSELF. HE WAS ONLY ON THE STAND FOR A.

FEW MINUTES TODAY, BUT HE'LL BE BACK TOMORROW. LEAVING COURT, TRUMP, WHO DENIES THE AFFAIR WITH DANIELS, TRIED TO DOWNPLAY THE CASE AGAINST HIM. >> IT'S A CASE AS TO BOOKKEEPING, WHICH IS A VERY MINOR THING IN TERMS OF THE LAW.

>> Reporter: SO, DAVID PECKER IS BACK TOMORROW, DAVID, BUT BEFORE THAT, THERE WILL BE ARGUMENTS WHETHER TRUMP VIOLATED THE JUDGE'S GAG ORDER. PROSECUTORS SAY HE DISOBEYED IT REPEATEDLY. BY POSTING DISPARAGING THINGS ABOUT WITNESSES, LIKE MICHAEL.

COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS. PROSECUTORS WANT TRUMP TO PAY A FINE. THEY ALSO WANT THE JUDGE TO HOLD HIM IN CONTEMPT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO EVEN MORE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES. DAVID? >> David: A LOT OF THIS FOCUSED.
