Carter would probably have only gotten the lady from Rowan and Martin's show

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer secretly recorded Trump discussing payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with him.
The president’s current personal lawyer confirmed the conversation and said it showed Trump did nothing wrong, The New York Times reported Friday. ABC News and The Washington Post confirmed the report as well.
Citing lawyers and others familiar with the recording, The Times said attorney Michael Cohen made the recording two months before Trump’s 2016 election. The newspaper said the FBI seized the recording during an April raid on Cohen’s office amid an investigation into his business dealings.
People familiar with the investigation have told The Associated Press that the raid sought, among other things, any information on payments made in 2016 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who says she had an affair with Trump in 2006. He denies it.
The Wall Street Journal revealed, days before the election, that the National Enquirer — run by Trump supporter David Pecker — had paid $150,000 to silence McDougal. At the time, Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said, “We have no knowledge of any of this.”
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told the Times the Republican president did discuss the payments to McDougal with Cohen on the less than two-minute-long recording, but that the payment was never made.
Giuliani says Trump told Cohen that if he did make a payment, to do it by check so it could be documented.
“Nothing in that conversation suggests that he had any knowledge of it in advance,” Giuliani told the newspaper. “In the big scheme of things, it’s powerful exculpatory evidence.”

McDougal was worth every penny. Va-va-voom! Well done, God Emperor Trump!
Obama picked this one right off his TV screen. He was just hanging in the presidential quarters and looked at this Indian hottie and -boom- with his special pen created the White House Hollywood Liason Office. It was fun while it lasted, until Penn was robbed after the Liason on the streets of DC for his tell tale phone only...
I don’t care if he had affairs as a private citizen. He’s working his butt off in the Oval Office, and not using it as his “Playboy” mansion the way the Democrat “Holy man” St John of Kennedy did!
Just because she is getting paid does not mean there was an *affair necessarily. It could be just to shut her up. Still not convinced it was Sr. that was involved with her.
*Am I naive or what?
Trump has a great taste in women. Good for him.
Proof that no matter how nice looking or hot a woman looks; someone somewhere is fully tired of her sh!t.
It’s women like this that makes men not trust women at all.
Comment of the day. Today on the internet is now Eddie01 day
IS HE ??!!! Lol !!
Billy Jeff never could have bagged any chicks like that.
And?
“Whatever happened to attorney - client privilege?”
It’s the NYT. I suspect we’ll find that the accusation is the only evidence.
I agree - I almost always forget about her.
This is a new old whisper campaign.
Information processed.
Now, if I may ask just one silly question. Just ONE silly question?
What does this have to do with Russians supposedly interfering in the election?
(Sorry, I just had to ask)
I’m STILL a LOYAL TRUMP SUPPORTER!!!!!
