Ex-Playboy model will sue Trump if he calls her a liar, her attorney says


By QUINT FORGEY and CRISTIANO LIMA 04/18/2018 06:30 PM EDT Updated 04/19/2018 10:20 AM EDT

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal has proof of her alleged affair with Donald Trump, and is prepared to sue the president if he calls her a liar, McDougal’s lawyer said Thursday.

“There is evidence and there are plenty of witnesses who were around at the time who know that this happened,” attorney Peter Stris told MSNBC. “The question is not, ‘Did the relationship happen?’ But, ‘What happened afterwards? What was the cover-up? Was she manipulated?’ And that's what this lawsuit has always been about.”

McDougal and American Media Inc., owners of the National Enquirer tabloid, reached a settlement Wednesday that will free her from a contract that barred her from openly discussing her alleged affair with Trump, according to court documents.

She sued in March to be released from an agreement that gave the Enquirer exclusive rights to her story about alleged romantic encounters with Trump — a story they never published — which effectively kept her silent about the relationship.

No point in calling her a liar, he will be proud of this.

That is why a rump supporter is not a christian and therefore nothing they say is valid, nothing.

I mean, if they believe Jesus is the son of god, they are pretty much Christians. You many not agree with them, but they probably don't agree with your brand of Christianity, either.

It's one more thing for 45 to have to deal with right now.

The way Melania was practically beaming in photos taken yesterday of her and 45, I figure she must have gotten a major perk thrown her way to act nice. The other alternative is that she's even more stupid than I think she is. She knew 45 was a cheater when she cheated with him. Maybe it's humiliating for it to be so public. How sad.

So while I have practically no interest in McDougal's depictions about her affair with 45, I do have interest in the reactions to them. So carry on, Karen McDougal!

head this morning, though Rachel's nose for a story is still itchy. The reasoning for what Rachel suggested was a very light agreement, when McDougal had AMI over a barrel, was wishy-washy. While she accepted what Stris said, I bet she thinks there's more to this.
