Former Model Says Trump Offered Her Cash After Sex
--------------------------------------------------

Former model Karen Mc Dougal went public Thursday with details about her
alleged affair with Donald Trump in 2006, telling CNN's Anderson Cooper
that Trump offered her cash after the two had consensual sex for the
first time.

Karen Mc Dougal: "After we had been intimate, he tried to pay me, and I
actually didn't know how to take that."

Anderson Cooper: "Did he actually try to hand you money?"

Karen Mc Dougal: "He did."

Karen Mc Dougal said the incident made her cry, but said the two
maintained a consensual affair for 10 months. Her interview came as
CBS's "60 Minutes" said it's going ahead with plans to broadcast an
interview on Sunday with adult film star Stephanie Clifford, better
known as Stormy Daniels. Daniels says she was paid $130,000 in hush
money by Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, only days before the
2016 election. Experts say this payment may have violated federal
election law.
