The FBI is investigating a $150,000 payment that the publisher of the National Enquirer made to a second woman who claims she had an affair with the president, according to a report Tuesday.
The agency executed a search warrant Monday targeting President Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, that included a request for documents related to Cohen’s payment of $130,000 to stripper Stormy Daniels. The porn star has said she had an affair with Trump.
But the feds also want to know about a payment made by American Media Inc., which owns the Enquirer, to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, sources told the New York Times. AMI’s chief executive is a personal friend of Trump’s, the paper said without identifying the person.
McDougal claims that she had a nearly yearlong affair with Trump in 2006.
The FBI also is seeking documents related to Cohen’s ownership of “numerous” New York City taxi medallions, CNN said...

1. If they dredge up something, then of course they'll use it, or at least leak it to the jackals in the press; but
2. More importantly, this serves to isolate The President from his lawyers. Recall that a month or so ago when a couple of lawyers resigned from his team (Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenova) it was reported that he was having trouble hiring replacements. Now everyone on his legal team has to be concerned that they will be the subject of Mueller and his Gestapo.
If it has nothing to do with Russia - and this certainly doesn’t - then it never should have been approved by Rosenstein in the first place. Shows that Mueller is still clearly using the discredited Steele dossier as a template and is trying to link Trump’s actions regarding Daniels and McDougal to stuff that Steele made up in the dossier.
Obviously Daniels and the Playboy bunny are Russian operatives.
Along with Obama, Jarrett, et al.
Commies.
Excellent point. Congress has an account set up for the purpose of paying off women their members harassed and use our money to fund it.
Were the names of the harassers ever released? Not to my knowledge.
Yet Trump’s lawyer gives personal hush money to a professional whore and it is a federal case. Literally.
Cohen tries to come off as a hard, tough guy “I’ll sue you!” lawyer.
Interesting to see how he comes off under the spotlight.
Need Cohen to roll on trump...Otherwise,they destroy cohen
McDougal claims that she had a nearly yearlong affair with Trump in 2006. ............................... Was it a forceful affair if it was an affair for a year? Are they looking to get paid for it now? If that’s the case isn’t it against the law in most states? I remember when Gore lost, he didn’t carry on like it was owed to him, as is the case with Hillary. They will use any means to remove Trump, “because they got to win this F’n election no mater what.” If they give into this accusing bimbo, they will open the door to thousands more looking to make $$$$ on accusations alone. I had an affair with Hillary, but no one believes me, would you? I had a problem for over 4 hours, and had to stop it so I asked her for sex. Now you believe me? LOL!
Great idea...Won’t happen with RINOS screaming mpeachment
“It’s for all the marbles anyway, go big.”
Correct.
The alternative is like thinking you can have a conventional war with Russia.
Somebody is going nuke at some point.
Go first.
Today I heard chuckUschummer on the radio in his greasy voice saying that the prosecutors and judges are Republicans and I thought SO WHAT. These 2 parties have been a charade forever...the only real goal is money for themselves and their friends at the expense of We The People.
There are a few exceptions...too few.
“Sessions realizes this has nothing to do with recusing himself from a Russian investigation.”
Sessions is COMPLICIT. He’s a co-conspirator.
Bull shit. Sessions made his intentions clear in his confirmation hearing which last time I read happens before swearing in. Trump would have known that if he had been paying attention.
From the search warrants themselves which specify what type of documents they are searching for.
But you know what is still sealed? The probable cause affidavits used to obtain the warrants.
First, this is the Post quoting the NY Times and CNN.
I don’t read that paper or watch that channel. I do read the Post. Certainly don’t care what NYT or CNN said. Please don’t quote those Fake News sites.
Second, hope he doesn’t own NYC taxi Medallions. 5 years ago (pre-Uber) they were worth $1.2 million each. Now, worth less than $200,000 each.
Many a medallion owner has filed bankruptcy and several smaller lenders failed who financed Medallions. Even Signature Bank, a really well run Bank in NY took large charge offs on Medallions.
If he still owns any, he already lost his shirt, leave the man alone!
What they were looking for was to deprive Trump of his right to a lawyer.
The other thing they were looking for is . . . whatever. They will troll through all those candid lawyer-client communications for something at least embarrassing or perhaps even troubling, then leak it
Just curious. Is it a crime, for a private citizen to have a consensual relationship with another person, and to mutually agree to non-disclosure of same?
If the women accepted the consideration, they would be bound to the agreement, too.
