re: David Pecker testimony ends up backing Trump's story.

That's because this case is a dog with fleas. There's a reason Cy Vance never really pursued this angle. Because it is just about impossible to prove and it relies on way too much supposition and inference and third parties operating independently....probably by design.

So Cohen pays her, says nothing to Trump. Then Cohen ostensibly working for the Trump Organization and Donald Trump, personally sends a bill. The Trump Organization pays it and then some. I'm not seeing a crime. Bragg and his deputies are really not that good or effective at this point.
