The tabloid news company American Media Inc. agreed to let a former Playboy model out of a contract that had kept her from talking freely about an alleged affair with Donald J. Trump, her lawyer said.
The settlement agreement, reached Wednesday, ends a lawsuit brought by the model, Karen McDougal, and protects the president from being drawn into a legal case involving efforts to buy the silence of women who had stories to tell about him during the 2016 campaign.
He still faces another lawsuit, from the pornographic film star Stephanie Clifford, who is suing to get out of a deal that Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, arranged in 2016 for her silence about an alleged affair.
In August 2016 American Media, which owns The National Enquirer, acquired the rights to Ms. McDougal’s story about Mr. Trump — which it never ran — in return for $150,000 and commitments to use its magazines to promote her current career as a fitness specialist.
Under the terms of Wednesday’s settlement, American Media has the right to up to $75,000 of any future profits from her story about the alleged affair, which Mr. Trump denies. According to her lawyer, Peter K. Stris, Ms. McDougal can keep the $150,000 payment and the publisher will retain the rights to photographs of her that it already has. American Media said that it also maintained the right to publish columns about Ms. McDougal.
“It’s a total win,” Mr. Stris said in an interview. “We got everything we were fighting for — she got out of the contract, gets the life rights back and owes A.M.I. nothing more.”

exactly who gives a crap about who he had sex, or supposed to have had sex with before he was President?
Good grief all what is going on in the world, and they talk about this crap. The media are just embarrassing themselves over, and over, and yet are so up their own behind they have no idea.
That, he is, judging from the woman's picture.
Jeez. I understand your aggravation,but lady up, huh?
I expect his poll numbers to go up, just like the Stormy Daniels bump.
This is what passes for “news” nowadays?
Heard 60 years ago: “Mommy!! Mommy!!! That little Trump boy smiled at me!!!!”
Same kid grown up today: “I’m gonna sue!!!!”
I don’t care either, but I don’t buy the stories.
Trump from his own accounts was very careful about stds.
He demanded new girl friends get tested.
I don’t see him being interested in sluts like these.
He has too many opportunities, he doesn’t need sluts.
since she’s already ‘talked freely’ what is left to say? that she wanted Trump to marry her and so she feels it’s ok to harass his wife?
Men are stupidly naive and more stupidly dumb and tooo vulnerable to let some woman use him for what she can get.. Men after one thing and bimbos after something entirely different. Women are coniving.
And I dont care what Trump has done. I will vote for him again
“So the left is gonna rely on skanks and illegals, in addition to committing massive vote fraud, to help them win the midterms!”
No. They are priming females to vote for the Dems. This crap is on every day, with Little Georgie of the Clinton Gang tut tutting with the morning shrews. Women eat up this swill. It works. Ask Roy Moore.
But I sure am sick of your "ladies", (and I use that term very, very loosely), running all over the country trying to make a name for themselves based on who they spread their legs for.
Makes me miss the good old days when being a slut was something you didn't advertise.
At least he had sex with women, so there’s that.
And if the media, courts, left, dems think they can tar Trump enough to lose his voters.. they are making us more and more determined .. they are attacking us too.. and you lefties dont know how the country feels about you... clueless like always.
I don't believe them, either, and for the same reason.
These females are not high on the list for sainthood and have everything to gain by flinging these accusations. Heck, Nobody remembered Stephanie Clifford, Stormy, until this happened and now she is back doing strip clubs and getting cash from talk shows. It is obvious she also has some lucrative financial deal coming up for all of this.
Once a whore, always a whore.
Billionaire bangs hot chicks. Film at 11.
They ignore the alleged mistresses of John F. Kennedy while he was in office.
“BREAKING NEWS” is really getting old, haven’t we seen and heard enough about this crap? Time to move on to something of substance.
