In the exclusive chat, McDougal among other things alleged
that Trump tried to pay her the first time they had sex.
“After we had been intimate, he tried to pay me, and I
actually didn’t know how to take that,” McDougal told Cooper. When asked
whether Trump actually tried to hand her money, she replied, “He did,” and
continued, “I don’t even know how to describe the look on my face. It must have
been so sad.” The former Playmate told Cooper it “hurt” that he saw her in that
light.
McDougal claims that she turned down the money and told
Trump, “That’s not me. I’m not that kind of girl.” She told Cooper, “And he
said, ‘Oh,’ and he said, ‘You’re really special.’” The affair, which allegedly
started in 2006, then continued for nine months.
The interview was McDougal’s first since she filed her
lawsuit against American Media Inc., the parent company of National
Enquirer. In her lawsuit, McDougal alleges she was paid $150,000 in 2016 by
the company to not discuss her alleged affair with Trump (who is friends with
the chief executive of AMI). She also alleges she was warned by AMI not to
speak out after a recent bombshell report by The New Yorker detailed
the affair.

McDougal also tearfully apologized to Trump’s wife Melania,
whom she once met in an event for the Apprentice, for the affair.
“What can you say except I’m sorry?” McDougal told Cooper. “I’m sorry. I
wouldn’t want it done to me.”
