Part of the reason Pecker is so affably testifying today about the secret campaign contributions in the form of "checkbook journalism" is that he made a plea deal.
But also Trump didn't pay the guy as he expected. That's why he started using Cohen directly. Pecker didn't feel like swooping in for free to clean up another embarrassing story.
Trump just never pays anyone if he can avoid it. It's like a base instinct with the man.
