Trump grand jury investigates SECOND ‘hush-money’ payment to Playboy model Karen McDougal who claimed she had an affair with the former President – alongside $130,000 paid to Stormy Daniels
- The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has questioned witnesses in the Daniels case about another alleged payment to a Playboy model, it is claimed
- Trump allegedly paid $150,000 to Playboy Magazine’s ‘Playmate of the Year 1998’ Karen McDougal after she claimed they had a 10-month affair
- Prosecutors could reportedly use evidence to bring fresh charges against Trump or establish a pattern of conduct
New York prosecutors looking to charge Donald Trump over ‘hush money’ paid to Stormy Daniels are also probing a $150,000 payment he made to a former Playboy model, it is claimed.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s team has questioned grand jury witnesses about cash the former president allegedly gave to Karen McDougal, who was Playboy Magazine ‘Playmate of the Year’ in 1998.
McDougal claims she had a ten-month affair with Trump which began in 2006. Trump’s office released a statement on Thursday branding the development a ‘hoax’.
A grand jury is currently deciding whether Trump should be charged after handing $130,000 to Daniels, a porn star, to keep quiet about their alleged fling. The money was paid in the run up to the 2016 presidential election.
Evidence about payments to McDougal could either be used to bring new charges or establish a ‘pattern of behavior’ for the Daniels case, sources told the Wall Street Journal, which revealed the development.

A spokesman for Trump said: ‘It is sad to see radical Democrats and their partners in the media try to resurrect a dead witch hunt. Just like with every other hoax that President Trump has been targeted with, there is no crime, except for election interference through weaponization of our justice system against President Trump and his supporters.’
This is a developing story.
