Karen McDougal: Who is the second woman in Trump case? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65181430

According to background documents, a payment was made on Mr Trump's behalf to "Woman 1" - who evidence suggests is Karen McDougal.

Ms McDougal is an ex-Playboy model and, like Ms Daniels, claimed she had an affair with Mr Trump.

She said it lasted 10 months. Mr Trump has denied it ever happened.

Here's what we know about Ms McDougal and how she's involved in this case.

Born in Gary, Indiana, before moving to Michigan as a child, Ms McDougal first began modelling in swimwear competitions in her 20s.

She joined Playboy where she went on to win Playmate of the Year in 1998 and was voted "Playmate of the 90s", second to Pamela Anderson.

In 2006, the New Yorker magazine reported that according to Ms McDougal, she met Mr Trump at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, where he was recording an episode of The Apprentice.

In 2016, in the run-up to the presidential election, Ms McDougal signed a deal worth $150,000 (£106,000) to tell her story exclusively to the tabloid newspaper, the National Enquirer.

Purchasing a story deliberately to then bury it is known as "catch and kill" - and the National Enquirer reportedly did this to suppress negative stories about Mr Trump.

In 2021, the US Federal Election Commission, which is in charge of enforcing campaign finance law, found that the Enquirer's publisher violated election laws by paying for the rights to Ms McDougal's story and never publishing it.

It found that the money, which was paid to Ms McDougal during the 2016 presidential election, amounted to an illegal campaign contribution. The National Enquirer was fined $187,500 (£132,000).
