Trump had affair with Playboy model - New Yorker report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump had an affair with a Playboy model at the same time he was in a relationship with a porn star and the National Enquirer tabloid paid the model $150,000 to prevent her story being made public, the New Yorker reported on Friday.

 

The magazine's account of the relationship was based on notes handwritten by the model, Karen McDougal, who was Playboy's 1998 Playmate of the Year. The New Yorker reported that McDougal confirmed that she had written the notes.

 

The account had similarities with descriptions that adult-film actress Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, and other women have given of sexual encounters with Trump, including private dinners and offers to buy them real estate.

 

The magazine reported that American Media Inc, publisher of the National Enquirer, paid McDougal $150,000 in 2016, soon after Trump became the Republican presidential nominee, for exclusive rights to her story, which it never published.

 

The article noted that American Media head David Pecker has described Trump as a "personal friend."

 

It reported that McDougal declined to discuss details of her relationship with Trump for fear of violating her agreement with American Media.

 

American Media told Reuters in a statement that the suggestion it "engages in any practice that would allow it to hold influence over the President of the United States, while flattering, is laughable."

 

The New Yorker reported that American Media said it did not publish McDougal's story because it did not find it credible.

 

The payment to McDougal by American Media was originally reported by the Wall Street Journal on November 4, 2016.

 

Trump allegedly began his affairs with McDougal and Clifford roughly three months after his wife Melania Trump gave birth to his youngest son Barron.

 

The White House did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. The New Yorker reported that a White House spokesperson said in a statement that Trump denies having had an affair with McDougal and called it, "more fake news."

 

Trump has denied having an affair with Clifford.

 

Earlier this week, Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen said he paid Clifford $130,000 from his personal funds during the 2016 presidential election campaign but said he was working alone and it was not a campaign expense.

 

Other women have accused Trump of making unwanted sexual advances toward them over the years. Trump has denied the accusations.

 

Reuters has not independently confirmed any of the accusations.

A porn star and a Playboy model, get in there Trumpy...

Credit where credit is due, that's a good score :) Of course being a rich bastard helps...

[worgeordie]

Wonder how much he had to pay for the privilege.

Seriously, I don't think it would have been difficult for Trump to have an affair with a Playboy model.

 

Obviously, all he had to do was smile, say 'Hi I'm the Donald," and then grab her by the *ussy, and BINGO, she'd be putty in his hands.

[darksidedog]

$150,000 to one girl, $130,000 to another. That is some serious money to keep "fake news" quiet.

I'm poor, and I get gals-for-hire that are a lot cuter, non-siliconed, and petite, .......for 1/15,000th the fee.

 

.....and I use condoms, whereas Trump never uses them.  If true (according to hired sex toys he employs), then he's both endangering them and himself, and he's risking unwanted pregnancy.

One wonders how much Melania is getting paid to stay married to that cheating bastage. What is Melania's price for silence and obedience? She refuses to hold his hand and takes separate cars from him. Yet is still willing to be seen by his side. What price Melania? What price?

 

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

BTW, the corporate claim here that they paid $150K to the model and then didn't publish the story because they didn't find it credible in laughable.

 

First, no pay for print media outlet is going to pay someone $150K for a story until they've already determined that it's credible to their satisfaction. And two, since when did the National Enquirer ever have a high standard for credibility in deciding to publish.×

 

Unless, the NE editorial folks paid the money and wanted to publish the story believing it credible, and then the Donald's corporate CEO friend Pecker-wood stepped in at the last minute to save his bacon. That I would believe.

 

The reporters and editors at the NE probably judged the story credible. But Donald's CEO buddy, with the presidential election rapidly approaching, somehow came to the opposite conclusion. No problem, don't mention it, Donald!

What price? An iron clad prenup and of course she's signed away any right to ever tell what she knows, which you gotta believe is an awful lot, emphasis on awful.

Americans had every opportunity to know pre-election that they were electing a total con man sleazeball. Nobody with a brain cell or two is really surprised. The shame of shameless "trump" bleeds onto the entire nation. Making America "great" again my arse!

Wonder how these latest infidelity accounts with Trump are going over in the Christian evangelical community, that supposedly voted for Trump in great numbers, despite his personal history.

 

Isn't "thou shalt not commit adultery" one of the Ten Commandments that's big among those folks? Well, how many times has the Donald committed adultery over the years? Not to mention how he's fared with thou shalt not steal and thou shalt not covet...

 

I guess it doesn't matter that Donald as a married man can screw everything with two legs and a ****, just so long as he gets gays out of the military and declares Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. MAGA!!!

Illicit sex with a porn start... $130,000

 

Illicit sex with a Playboy Playmate... $150,000

 

The social cache of forever being introduced as "Former First Lady"... priceless.

None, apparently, unless you know different, with evidence.

 

Trump did not "declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel".

Re Trump's adultery, obviously you haven't been reading the news lately, including the OP in this thread.

 

As for Jerusalem:

Pick your word --  declared, acknowledged, recognized....

Quote

 

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Wednesday formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, reversing nearly seven decades of American foreign policy and setting in motion a plan to move the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to the fiercely contested Holy City.

“Today we finally acknowledge the obvious: that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital,” Mr. Trump said from the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House. “This is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality. It is also the right thing to do. It’s something that has to be done.”

And the acknowledged $130,000 payment by Trump's lawyer to the porn star was just... a good will gesture?

 

Do you really have so little respect for common sense?

 

Quote

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's personal lawyer said Tuesday that he paid $130,000 of his own money to a porn star who allegedly had a sexual encounter with the President before his time in office.

 

Quote

Just weeks before the 2016 election, Cohen reportedly created a private LLC to pay Clifford, otherwise known as Stormy Daniels, following an alleged July 2006 encounter with Trump, The Wall Street Journal reported in January.

 

And as for adultery, Trump married Melania in 2005, so he clearly was married at the time of the alleged 2006 sexual encounter mentioned above.

Well at least twice apparently according to the substantial evidence now appearing in the media. Or do you live in Trumps alternative facts Universe? The only evidence against is Trump saying "more fake news". But like the ostrich with it's head in the sand - the lion will sure enough still come and bite its ass off. Someone soon is going to produce images/video.

 

The Republicans have some soul searching to do. In support of this man they have sacrificed their patriotism, their fiscal conservatism and their family values. Funny how the GOP wants zero abortion rights for women but it is ok for their top representative to go screwing around with impunity without wearing condoms.

The so-called "Christian evangelicals" are some of the worst hypocrites on the planet - even worse than the man-child. At least he doesn't try very hard to come over as anything than the bottom dweller he is. These guys are all holier than thou while supporting a creature that represents the very antithesis of all they claim to believe in.
