Trump attempted to pay me for sex, ex-Playboy show says

A Playboy model who says she had a months-long affair with Donald Trump a decade before his election as president told CNN that he tried to pay her for sex.

Karen McDougal wants to be released from a $150,000 deal she made in 2016 with American Media Inc, the company that owns the National Enquirer tabloid, an agreement she alleges was aimed at keeping her story under wraps.

“After we had been intimate, he tried to pay me. And I actually didn’t know how to take that,” McDougal told CNN’s Anderson Cooper of her first sexual encounter with Trump, which she said took place in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

“I looked at him and said, ‘That’s not me, I’m not that kind of girl.’ And he looked at me and said, ‘Oh,’ and he said, ‘You’re really special,'” McDougal said.

While she initially did not plan to see him again, McDougal said she and Trump ultimately ended up spending “a lot of time together” and also kept in touch by phone.

“There was a real relationship there. There were feelings between the two of us,” she said.

The match met in 2006, not long after Trump's significant other Melania brought forth their child Aristocrat. 

Trump just specified Melania once, and "clearly, there's a reason I don't bring her up, on the grounds that I felt remorseful about it," McDougal said. 

While the charged issue dates to 2006, the concurrence with American Media Inc was just made in 2016, when Trump was running for the administration. 

McDougal's story echoes assertions of an issue amongst Trump and the porn performing artist Stephanie Clifford — known as Stormy Daniels — amid a similar period. 

Daniels has documented suit looking to be discharged from a non-exposure assention she marked in 2016, for which she was paid $130,000 by Trump's own legal advisor.
