According to rumors, April 15 is the date of Donald Trump’s state criminal trial in New York, which will examine charges of receiving hush money. The former businessman and porn star Stormy Daniels are scheduled to meet in person. Daniels claims she received hush money payments before the presidential election v.
There is ample evidence to support Trump’s public spat with Daniels, whose accusations that she had sex with the former president he has consistently rejected.
However, there is another woman who has made allegations about Donald Trump and who might be called as a witness in this case via The Express.
She is Playboy model Karen McDougal, and it was ruled on March 18 that she can be called as a witness in the upcoming criminal trial.
Trump has always maintained he’s not guilty of all charges in the case, which focuses on payments made to Daniels. But there was also a payment made to another woman, “Woman 1”, according to documents from the indictment of the former president. This woman is believed to be Karen McDougal.
It has been noted that Karen McDougal is a former Playboy model who says she had a nine-month affair with Donald Trump before he was president, something that Trump denies.
McDougal claims she met Trump at the Playboy Mansion in LA in 2006, while an episode of The Apprentice was being filmed. She said that Trump “immediately took a liking to (her), kept talking to (her) – telling (her) how beautiful (she) was, etc”.
Karen McDougal alleged that the National Enquirer tricked her into keeping quiet, which was found to have violated election laws by the US Federal Election Commission. The paper offered her a deal worth $150,000 (£106,000) to exclusively tell her story before the elections.
However, the story was never published, and the deal was regarded as an attempt to silence McDougal. The FEC concluded that the payment made to McDougal was an unlawful campaign contribution.
Trump avoided punishment for these payments, however, the publisher of The National Enquirer agreed to pay more than $187,500. Despite the continuous denial of the affair from Donald Trump, McDougal issued an apology to Melania in 2018. McDougal expressed: “I’m sorry. I wouldn’t want it done to me.”
She also admitted: “When I look back, at where I was back then, I know it’s wrong. I’m really sorry for that. I know it’s a wrong thing to do.”
