Here are some of the famous names on Trump’s ‘close contacts’ list

The list of former President Trump’s “close contacts” was shown during his Manhattan hush money trial last week.

The list of 50-plus names features a bevy of business associates, celebrities, star athletes and billionaires. It was revealed during former White House aide Madeleine Westerhout’s testimony Thursday, with the contacts’ phone numbers redacted.

Some names on the list are closely tied to the ongoing case, such as Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen and David Pecker, the former National Enquirer publisher.

Trump faces 34 felony counts in the hush money case where he stands accused of falsifying business records related to a payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, who alleged having a sexual encounter with him in 2006.
