Washington (CNN) A former Playboy model who allegedly had a 10-month affair with President Donald Trump is suing the company that kept her original account from publication. The New Yorker published an article last month that referenced an eight-page document McDougal wrote about the alleged affair, which a friend provided to the magazine and McDougal confirmed. The Times report said McDougal's suit claims Cohen was "secretly involved" in her talks with American Media Inc., and outlines a number of similarities between the two. In response to the original Journal story about the Enquirer and McDougal, American Media Inc. denied paying to kill damaging stories about Trump. CORRECTION: This story has been updated to reflect the length of time of McDougal's alleged affair with Trump.
