McDougal allegedly had a much longer running affair with Trump than Stormy Daniels, yet she is not being called to testify
Former Playboy model Karen McDougal will not be giving evidence against Donald Trump partly because she might have made the former president look too good, a legal expert has told Newsweek.New York University law professor, Stephen Gillers said that McDougal had a long-term affair with Trump, who denies the relationship, and some of her testimony might reflect well on the former president.
He said prosecutors were also concerned about offering too much 'salacious' testimony to the jury.The court has already heard from National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, that he operated a 'catch and kill' system to pay for and hide negative news about his friend, Donald Trump, during the 2016 presidential election.He paid for McDougal's silence and offered her a National Enquirer column.
