Former Playboy centerfold Karen McDougal has reached a settlement with tabloid publisher American Media Inc., ending a lawsuit over the rights to the story of the affair she says she had with Donald Trump a decade ago. Adult-film star Stormy Daniels is suing to break a confidentiality agreement about her own alleged affair with Trump. Under the terms of the deal, McDougal and AMI must each pay their own attorneys’ fees. Her lawsuit named neither Davidson and Cohen as defendants but alleged they colluded to reach a deal that would bury McDougal’s allegations. McDougal’s settlement with AMI says that while she releases all claims against the tabloid company, she does not release any claims that she “has or may have” against Cohen and Davidson.
