"Inside Trump's Historic Hush Money Trial: Protests, Traffic, and Prosecution"

Former President Donald Trump is set to go on trial in Manhattan for his alleged involvement in a hush money scheme to silence his alleged mistresses before the 2016 election, making it the first criminal trial for a former US president. The payments to the mistresses, Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, were made through a "catch and kill" process and a nondisclosure agreement. Both Cohen and AMI have admitted to breaking laws, and Trump faces multiple criminal trials and civil liabilities. The trial is expected to be historic and salacious, but it may not be the most significant legal challenge Trump faces.

Karen McDougal Speaks Out on Trump Indictment and Hush Money Case

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal posted a photo on social media from a ski resort in Vail, Colorado, and wrote cheekily, "Hope I didn't miss anything," following former President Donald Trump's indictment on Tuesday. McDougal is believed to be featured prominently in the case, which alleges that Trump employed "catch and kill" tactics to keep potential sex scandals, including one with McDougal, from coming to light. Prosecutors allege that McDougal received $150,000 in exchange for her agreement not to speak about a "sexual relationship" she says she had with Trump while he was married.

Karen McDougal Speaks Out on Trump Indictment and Hush Money Case

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who was a target of Donald Trump's catch-and-kill effort to suppress allegations of extramarital affairs, posted vacation photos on social media and made a subtle dig at the former president after he was indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to the scheme. Trump has denounced porn actress Stormy Daniels, another woman involved in the scheme, but has remained silent on McDougal's story. Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges and expects another indictment from a grand jury investigation in Georgia probing his efforts to alter the state's 2020 election results.

Karen McDougal's Involvement in the Trump Case: Explained.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments made to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. Another woman, former Playboy model Karen McDougal, has also been named in the statement of facts released by the Manhattan district attorney. McDougal alleges that she had a 10-month consensual "romantic relationship" with Trump, which he denies. The National Enquirer bought the exclusive rights to McDougal's story in 2016 but did not publish it, paying her $150,000 during Trump's presidential campaign. The payments to McDougal are not part of the criminal charges but have been cited as evidence of a pattern of behavior.

The Trump Case: Karen McDougal, Indictment Speculation, and Fraud Suit.

The criminal case against former President Donald Trump involves not only his alleged affair with Stormy Daniels but also a separate liaison with Playboy model Karen McDougal. McDougal has said she had an affair with Trump in 2006 and 2007, and American Media Inc (AMI) paid her $150,000 for the rights to her story to prevent her from going public with it ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The U.S. Federal Election Commission ruled in 2021 that AMI's payment to McDougal amounted to an illegal campaign contribution that benefited Trump.

Lawyer Claims Cohen's Testimony is Supported by Substantial Documentation

Lawyer Lanny Davis said there is "substantial documentation" to support Michael Cohen's testimony in the case against former President Donald Trump over hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. Cohen's credibility as a witness has been questioned due to his previous guilty plea to lying to Congress and other charges. However, Davis said that Cohen's testimony is backed by documentation from both Cohen and others involved in the case. The indictment against Trump has been announced but not unsealed, so it is unclear if it goes beyond the Daniels accusations to ones involving McDougal or anyone else.

"Former President Trump to Surrender Following New York Grand Jury Indictment"

A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict former US President Donald Trump, marking the first time a former president has been indicted. The exact nature of the charges remains unclear, but they are related to payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter. Prosecutors are working to coordinate Trump's surrender, which could happen early next week. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and called the indictment "political persecution." The charges are likely to reinforce rather than reshape dueling perspectives of those who see accountability as long overdue and those who feel the Republican is being targeted for political purposes by a Democratic prosecutor.
