Although the landmark 34-count criminal case against former President Donald Trump hinges on his alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, the Manhattan DA’s investigation also deals with a less-familiar name – Karen McDougal.
McDougal, a 52-year-old former Playboy Playmate, claims she had an affair with Trump over a decade ago.
She also says she was silenced when Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, and the leadership at American Media Inc. paid her for her story in the run-up to the 2016 election — and then buried it.
***
In a Feb. 2018 report based on McDougal’s handwritten memoirs, ***the model first encountered Donald Trump at a pool party at the Playboy Mansion in June 2006.
Although Trump, then 60, had recently married supermodel Melania and had an infant son, Barron, he was apparently “uninhibited” by matrimony and “‘immediately took a liking’” to McDougal.
*** Though Trump has publicly denied any affair, McDougal claimed in a 2018 sitdown interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper that she and Trump had a consensual 10-month relationship
McDougal said the pair first had sex after a private dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel – and that Trump tried to pay her for her time.
*** McDougal said she saw Trump at least five times a month during their relationship.
***
Four days before the 2016 presidential election, the Wall Street Journal reported that American Media Inc. (AMI), the owner of the National Enquirer, had paid McDougal $150,000 for exclusive rights to her story.
The agreement, which was finalized in Aug. 2016, barred McDougal from discussing the alleged affair publically, but the story was never run – an example of what some in the media refer to as a “catch and kill” scheme intended to bury unflattering coverage.

Trump cheated on is second wife with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.
This is not a good example of a moral individual. Teach your children well.
Moral relativism and ad hominem attacks to follow infra.
Any relation to Susan McDougal?
Nope.
Decent looking tail. But you have to keep your word, sadly my X didn’t.
“If the women are to be believed..”
That’s a mighty big if.

Stormy Daniels even claimed she never had an affair with Trump.
Karen claimed she did but offered nothing as evidence.
Deion Sanders said it best: “Once a wh*remonger always a wh*remonger.”
My ex didn't keep her word either. And as a man with then young kids I knew I had no chance at custody if we divorced. So I stayed with her. She left anyway.
And I was wrong. I had a chance at custody. The chance has a name: Jesus. I got custody, married a good gal, and we helped each other finish raising our kids. Without Jesus we've got nothing. With Jesus we've got it going on: both in eternity and in the here and now.
And Biden and his whole family betray the whole USA and are in the pocket of the Communist CCP by all available evidence. Trump claims that the allegations are false. I know that many corporations pay nondisclosure settlements to make false claims go away because the expense is less than the harm if the leftist media runs with a fake story. I don’t know if the stories are true or false and neither do you. In the worst case that it is true, would you say that it is worse than selling out your country to the communist Chinese? That is our choice.
Last i checked, we were looking for an experienced executive... not a saint.
President Trump is one of the top 3 Presidents we’ve had in 100+ years (giving some room for Reagan and maybe another I cannot think of)
those trying to detract from him by pointing out that he was a billionaire playboy seem to think it was a hidden fact. It wasn’t and we don’t care.
Neither are you because you are posting and doing this for political reasons not because you really care about morals. I know Rupert and the FOX news crowd are not moral. How many times has ole Rupert been married, huh?
I mean, hey man, we all know how totally moral Biden and the Pope are.
Pushing this for political reasons are not moral dude or dudette, whoever you are gagline BS boy.
If Donald Trump is really a germaphobe I can’t see him dipping his wick in the same receptacle as Hugh Hefner.
Let's take a look at your decrepit life. Based on your God-like judgement, it's a doozy.
You go brother, be blessed!
Halpin would later say that her affair with Cleveland was not consensual, alleging that she was raped. Cleveland denied those allegations and won the presidency. His campaign said the affair happened while he was unmarried.
As Vice wrote, Cleveland got Halpin commissioned to the asylum, saying that she was sleeping around with married men.
“Neither are you because you are posting and doing this for political reasons not because you really care about morals.”
Exactly. People who propagate the false stories for political purposes are whores just the same.
We must remember that until 2015, Trump was a Democrat. If you are a Dem and not gay, that sort of behavior is ‘au rigueur’.
“Deion Sanders said it best: “Once a wh*remonger always a wh*remonger.””
For those propagating these false stories: “Once a liar, always a liar” - CodeToad
This is the second one today from the NYP. The first was to try and stir up trouble with Trump and his wife.
We all know what they are up to.
