Second woman made allegations of an affair with Donald Trump
Washington sources have stated that former Playboy model Karen McDougal claims that she and Trump had a sexual relationship in 2006, which began months after first lady Melania Trump gave birth to the president's youngest son. Meanwhile The White House did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Accordingly Donald Trump's lawyer says he paid USD 130,000 to porn star to stop reports of sexual encounter. Further in a statement to the New Yorker an unnamed a spokesperson said the president had denied having a relationship with McDougal, calling the claims "fake news." Furthermore according to the New Yorker, the nine month relationship ended quietly, but years later during the 2016 presidential campaign McDougal sold her story.
Furthermore McDougal told the New Yorker of
the alleged payment and that the National Enquirer is owned by David Pecker,
who has claimed to be a friend of Trump's. The tabloid endorsed Trump's bid for
the presidency. Moreover in a statement the tabloid's owner, AMI, said that the
suggestion that it "engages in any practice that would allow it to hold
influence over the President of the United States is laughable."
