Playboy Model And Hush Money:-

Stormy Daniels 2.0? Karen McDougal Case Follows Similar Route in Trump's Legal Troubles

Former US President Donald Trump is in hot water once again as he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records in Manhattan. One of these counts involves Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model who allegedly received hush money From Trump to keep their extramarital affair a secret. 

The Manhattan Grand Jury has heard testimony from two witnesses regarding the Karen McDougal case, and it is expected to follow a similar route to the Stormy Daniels case. However, it remains to be seen how Trump will be judged in court for both incidents.

Trump's involvement in the McDougal affair was exposed as AMI cooperates with prosecutors

McDougal reportedly received $150,000 in hush money, which was allegedly paid by American Media Inc. (AMI) to prevent her story from being published in The National Enquirer. AMI, whose former president was a personal friend of Trump, cooperated with the Prosecutor's Office in 2018 and admitted to paying the model in collaboration with members of Trump's electoral campaign. This payment was made to keep the affair from becoming public knowledge and affecting the outcome of the presidential election.

From Prison to witness stand: Michael Cohen helps bring Trump to Justice

While the alleged bribery of McDougal was investigated in 2018, it did not reach the courts because of AMI's cooperation. Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer who pleaded guilty to the facts and was sent to prison in 2019, is now one of Alvin Bragg's main informants and witnesses in the case against Trump. Cohen has said that he is not seeking revenge against Trump but wants the right person to be held accountable for the incidents.
