David Pecker says he signed a cooperation letter with the Manhattan DA's office — something not previously known.

The agreement was signed Oct. 25 2019, well before current District Attorney Alvin Bragg was elected in 2021.

David Pecker says that, when he received a letter from the Federal Election Commission, he called Michael Cohen and asked him what to do.
