A former Playboy model apologized to Melania Trump for a 10-month affair she claims she had with U.S. President Donald Trump that started with him offering her money after the first time they had sex. During an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper that aired Thursday night, Karen McDougal said Trump tried to pay her after their first sexual tryst at a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2006. McDougal had feelings for Trump, but the affair was "just tearing me apart," she said. Trump married his current wife, Melania Trump, in 2005, and their son, Barron, was born in 2006. Speaking to CNN — which her attorney has said would be her only interview about the relationship — McDougal apologized when she was asked what she would say to Melania Trump.
