McDougal, a former pre-K teacher who became a model, also claimed to have had an affair in 2006 with Trump. Rowan Farrow’s piece for The New Yorker described “one woman’s account of clandestine meetings, financial transactions, and legal pacts designed to hide an extramarital affair.” McDougal detailed her nine-month affair with Trump for the magazine.
