Former Playboy model Karen McDougal has been released from a contract with American Media Inc. that restricted her ability to openly discuss her alleged 2006 affair with President Donald Trump. McDougal reached a settlement with the publishing company on Wednesday, freeing her from a 2016 legal agreement with The National Enquirer. AMI also will publish five fitness columns by McDougal, the publishing company told HuffPost. AMI’s settlement with McDougal comes a week after the FBI seized material from Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen. McDougal told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in March that after having sex with Trump, the president attempted to pay her for it.
