was being taken away. cbs's robert costa was inside the courthouse and starts us off tonight. >> reporter: former president trump aired his frustration with being in court today. >> that's a very unfair situation. >> reporter: after listening to former "national enquirer" publisher david pecker, a man he has known for over three decades, explain the strategy he testified they agreed upon ahead of the 2016 election. the paper would bury any negative news about trump, while promoting fake stories about his political opponents, including senators ted cruz and marco rubio. pecker testified the plan was concocted at trump tower in 2015. trump and former fixer michael cohen allegedly asked him how he could help the campaign. he told them, i would be your eyes and ears, explaining the practice of catch and kill. the "enquirer" would buy the rights to any damaging story about trump and never publish it. prosecutors say that plan was

the origin of cohen's $130,000 payment to former adult film star stormy daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged sexual encounter with trump, who denies it all. one example of catch and kill discussed in court today involved a trump building doorman, who was selling what turned out to be a fake story about trump fathering a son. pecker told the jury today he bought the story because of the potential embarrassment it would have to the campaign and mr. trump. >> david pecker is a very strong witness for the prosecution. he seems very solid on the stand. he certainly seems like he doesn't have any axe to grind with donald trump and seems almost apologetic for having to tell this story. >> reporter: on the stand, pecker said trump called him about another story he wanted kept quiet. that of former "playboy" model karen mcdougal, who claimed to have had a ten-month-long affair with trump in 2006, which he denies. >> after we had been intimate, he tried to pay me, and i actually didn't know how to take

that. >> reporter: four days before the 2016 election, "the wall street journal" reported that american media, which owned the "enquirer" at the time, had paid mcdougal $150,000 for the rights to her story, which was never published. in the gag order hearing, the prosecution argued that trump should be held in contempt for all of his scathing commentary about this case. trump's lawyer todd blanche said his client has been careful with his words. to that, the judge said, that's just not credible. maurice? >> maurice: robert costa once agai again at the criminal courthouse in lower manhattan tonight, thank you. now to those escalating clashes and threats of violence on college campuses. protests are growing as more students across the country are staging demonstrations against israel's war in gaza. cbs's nancy chen tonight on what protesters are demanding. >> we are not afraid of you! >> reporter: pro-palestinian demonstrators clashed with police at cal poly humboldt in northern california after a group of students used chairs and other furniture to barricade themselves inside one of the

it was trump's appointment of three deeply conservative supreme court justices that changed the balance of the court and brought about an end to roe v. wade. >> we broke roe v. wade, and we did something that nobody thought was possible. >> reporter: since then, about half of all u.s. states have rolled back reproductive rights, and yet polling by cbs news shows only a third of americans say trump deserves the blame. >> he described the dobbs decision as a miracle. maybe it's coming from that bible he's trying to sell. >> reporter: today, biden highlighted the recent spike in pregnant women being turned away from emergency rooms. kaitlyn joshua was turned away by two hospitals in baton rouge, louisiana, when she was having a miscarriage. >> i was told that i would be sent home with prayers but would not get a diagnosis of miscarriage on paper or verbally. >> reporter: five months after florida's abortion ban goes into effect, voters in that state will have a chance to reverse
