During his testimony, Michael Cohen revealed a conversation he had with Donald Trump regarding the Karen McDougal story. Cohen stated that he informed Trump immediately after speaking with AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer. He recounted going to Trump's office and discussing McDougal, to which Trump reportedly commented on her beauty.
Cohen mentioned that he brought up the fact that there was a story being circulated about McDougal and Trump's response was to ensure it didn't get released. Cohen interpreted this as a directive to acquire the story to prevent its publication elsewhere.
According to Cohen, the objective was to prevent the story from being sold or distributed to external parties. This revelation sheds light on the efforts made by Cohen, at the behest of Trump, to manage potentially damaging information about McDougal.
