Ex-Playboy Model Karen McDougal Sues to Break Silence on Trump
New York Times ^ | 03/20/2018 | By JIM RUTENBERG

Posted on 03/20/2018 12:08:04 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

A former Playboy model who claimed she had an affair with Donald J. Trump sued on Tuesday to be released from a 2016 legal agreement requiring her silence, becoming the second woman this month to challenge Trump allies’ efforts during the presidential campaign to bury stories about extramarital relationships.

The model, Karen McDougal, is suing the company that owns The National Enquirer, American Media Inc., which paid her $150,000 and whose chief executive is a friend of President Trump’s. The other woman, the adult entertainment star Stephanie Clifford, better known as Stormy Daniels, was paid $130,000 to stay quiet by the president’s personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen. She filed suit earlier this month.

Both women, who argue that their contracts are invalid, are trying to get around clauses requiring them to resolve disputes in secretive arbitration proceedings rather than in open court. Mr. Trump has denied the affairs.

Ms. McDougal, in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims that Mr. Cohen was secretly involved in her talks with A.M.I., and that the media company and her lawyer at the time misled her about the deal. She also asserts that after she spoke with The New Yorker last month after it obtained notes she kept on Mr. Trump, A.M.I. warned that “any further disclosures would breach Karen’s contract” and “cause considerable monetary damages.”

In an email to The New York Times, her new lawyer, Peter K. Stris, accused A.M.I. of “a multifaceted effort to silence Karen McDougal.”

Reminds us of Mimi Alford and Mary Pinchot Meyer who allegedly had affairs with President Kennedy. Let's talk about that.

The other woman, the adult entertainment star Stephanie Clifford...

An Adult Entertainment Star? What's that? Is that like being a porn actress?

She wants everyone to know she’s a pig who screws married men. I don’t have a problem with the president. That’s between him and his wife.

If Trump has an affair with a subordinate while in office, lies about it under oath, and as a result loses his right to practice law for a few months after his second term as president, well, I guess I can live with that. But get back to us if those conditions are ever met.

Meanwhile, how many trips did the Bill Clinton take to Lolita Island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein?

Geez, democrats. You haven’t realized yet that the Donald has teams of these beautiful women lined up ready to accuse him of having an affair.

There is a schedule in the WH. It makes him appear young and hot.

Eleven years ago? Go away. Trump withstood worse with more proof and won anyway when people had to rely on his promises. Now he has delivered. This will mean nothing.

"I'm so sick of RINO’s, RATS and slimy bureaucrats.

Has a certain ring to it. Concise too. A bumper sticker candidate.

Well done.

The swamp is getting desperate - getting close. The conspiracy against Trump is unraveling.

When will these whores come to the realization that NO ONE CARES. The left turned this country into Sodom and Gomorrah and we we’re supposed to suddenly care that Trump MIGHT have cheated with a whore before he was elected president? Big freaking deal.

#Metoo is very opportunistic. #Metoo is a genius leftist tactic. Why the Obama/Clinton/Soros cabal did not throw these whores into the election swamp is beyond me. The goal is to shed women from the MAGA base and promote "stay home" Republicans while ratchetting up the fraud/illegal vote machine. The left NEVER EVER gives up. One has to eliminate them and we have no heart or desire to do so.

This President has done not one thing wrong nor committed any crime but the cabal is trying to run him out of DC like Nixon.

As soon as she filed to break the non disclosure agreement we knew Trump had sex with her. So what?

Drag a Black Amex card through the Playboy mansion and who knows what you will find?

It’s not like it, it is it.

Yes we knew- however I wonder about Melania. I can’t imagine how she is handling all of this. Three lawsuits now.
