The former Playboy model has said she had a nine-month relationship with Trump in 2006 and 2007, before his presidency.

She wrote in a personal diary later obtained by the New Yorker that Trump introduced her to his family, brought her to his private room at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and showed her his wife’s separate bedroom in Trump Tower.

They had sex “many dozen times,” she told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in 2018.

McDougal, now 53, met Trump when he was filming an episode of “The Celebrity Apprentice.” She said she ended the relationship because she felt guilty about Trump’s wife and young son. She spoke out after Daniels.

David Pecker

Pecker, a longtime ally of the ex-president, is expected to testify at the trial.

The feds revealed that they’d offered a nonprosecution deal to American Media, Inc. after Cohen’s conviction in exchange for the company’s admission that it paid off McDougal to ensure she “did not publicize damaging allegations” about Trump “before the 2016 presidential election and thereby influence that election.”

Pecker, 72, is expected to testify that he agreed to act as the Trump campaign’s “eyes and ears” during a 2015 meeting at Trump Tower with Trump and Cohen by identifying damaging stories to “catch and kill” and publishing stories that could harm his competitors’ chances.
