Karen McDougal, Donald Trump’s alleged ‘other woman’, shades ex-president in steamy bathroom photo

The former Playboy Playmate who claimed to have had an affair Donald Trump subtly called him out this weekend — hours before he reappeared in court for another day in his hush-money trial.

On Sunday, Karen McDougalwho may testify in the ongoing trial about her relationship with Trump, posted a photo of herself in the bathtub.

McDougal showed off her legs while soaking in a hot tub. She had a glass of wine on a tray next to Ronan Farrow’s book Catch and kill.

Farrow’s bestseller describes the efforts of tabloid newspapers to prevent negative stories about certain celebrities from coming out. American Media Inc. – owner of The National Enquirer – is accused of helping Trump with various “catch and kill” measures over the years.

McDougal had been paid $150,000 per American Media Inc. to secure the rights to her story about the alleged affair. The company never published her story, but instead gave her a job at one of their magazines. David Pecker, the head of AMI and once a close friend of Trump, spoke about working with Trump attorney Michael Cohen to ensure the transaction went smoothly.

In November 2016, sources close to McDougal alleged that she had an affair with Trump from 2006 to 2007. They said it lasted about ten months. Months later, McDougal confirmed the story during a conversation with Anderson Cooper.

McDougal said she met Trump in June 2006 during a pool party at the Playboy Mansion. She said the then 60-year-old had recently married Melania and welcomed son Barron.

She said Trump tried to give her money after their first sexual encounter and that she visited the businessman “many dozens of times.”
