Trump is impeached paying Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, $130,000 to keep her quiet about the couple’s alleged extramarital affair.
Five months before the 2016 presidential election, American Media Inc, the publisher of the National Enquirer, paid McDougal, 53, $150,000 to tell the entire story. The interview was never published.
The alleged affair became public in a subsequent interview McDougal did with The Wall Street Journal in 2016.
Trump denies McDougal’s allegations. His payment is not subject to criminal investigation, but prosecutors say it will establish a pattern of behavior by Trump, something Trump attorney Todd Blanche tried to argue.
Judge Merchan said the jury did not need to hear about the timing of the alleged McDougal affair, which the former model said occurred at that time. Melania Trump I was pregnant with Barrón Trump.
