The footage, admitted into evidence by the Manhattan district attorney's office, was shown during former President Donald Trump's trial Thursday.
One of them is a photo of David Becker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, and Trump in the White House.
Another exhibit is American Media Inc. and a licensing agreement between Playboy playmate Karen McDougal. Becker testified in court that he negotiated a deal to pay McDougal $150,000 for the rights to the story, which involved him and Trump.
In a deal dated August 5, 2016, McDougall will have a monthly column on aging and fitness in Star and OK magazines.
Among other documents and text messages, an invoice for payments to McDougal's lawyer, Keith Davidson, was included in the exhibits.
