NEW YORK — Donald Trump repeatedly sought to block potentially damaging media reports that might hurt his 2016 presidential campaign but did not seem worried about how his family would feel about them, the former publisher of the National Enquirer testified Thursday. David Pecker, the former media executive, said at Trump's criminal trial on 34 charges of falsifying business records that Trump did not appear concerned about how a story of his alleged affair years earlier with Playboy model Karen McDougal would impact his family, including his wife, Melania.
