Second woman alleges Trump affair — and cover-up
Donald Trump
The document was provided to The New Yorker by McDougal's friend, but she confirmed to the magazine that the handwriting in the document is hers.
Another scandal about President Donald Trump’s history of extramarital affairs has resurfaced.
Former Playboy model Karen McDougal has made allegations of an affair with Donald Trump, describing complex legal and financial agreements in an alleged bid to cover it up.
Karen McDougal detailed her alleged affair with Trump for nine months from June 2006 to April 2007, when Trump was two years into his marriage with Melania Trump, the future first lady.
The document was provided to The New Yorker by McDougal's friend, but she confirmed to the magazine that the handwriting in the document is hers.
The White House did not immediately reply to a request for comment, but in a statement to NBC a spokesperson said the president had previously denied having a relationship with McDougal, calling the claims "fake news."
The New Yorker reported that on August 5, 2016, McDougall agreed to give the company which owns the National Inquirer tabloid exclusive rights over "any romantic, personal, or physical relationship she has ever had with any `then-married man."
The deal is alleged to have been worth $150,000, but the story never ran.
