During the recent testimony of David Pecker, CEO of American Media Inc., he recalled a phone conversation he had with members of Trump's White House staff. Pecker mentioned that he spoke with Hope Hicks and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, both of whom expressed support for extending Karen McDougal's contract.
Pecker testified that during the call, Hicks and Sanders indicated that they believed extending McDougal's contract was a good idea. This revelation sheds light on the involvement of key White House staff members in discussions related to McDougal, a former Playboy model who alleged an affair with Donald Trump.
