Conservative lawyer George Conway shared a previously little-known anecdote about Donald Trump which he said showed how concerned the former president was about his alleged affairs and attempts to cover them up being made public.
It’s a “story I’ve never told too publicly before,” Conway told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday.
Conway recalled a phone call Trump made to his daughter Ivanka Trump in 2018 as part of an interview that Playboy model Karen McDougal gave to CNN Anderson Cooper – about what McDougal claimed was his month-long affair with Trump, while he was married to Melanie Trump – was broadcast.
“I was sitting having dinner with my ex-wife (former Trump White House advisor). Kellyanne Conway), with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump and the phone rings,” recalls the lawyer, fierce critic of his ex-wife’s former boss.
“And Ivanka comes into the kitchen and answers the phone. “Oh, it’s dad.” And what did Dad want to know? If they looked at Karen McDougal,” he said. “So he was very, very worried about that.”
In McDougal’s interview with Cooper, she claimed that Trump made her cry when he tried to pay her after their first intimate meeting.
Trump also reportedly compared McDougal to Ivanka during their time together.
“He said I was beautiful like her and, you know, ‘You’re a smart girl,'” she told Cooper. “And there haven’t been a lot of comparisons, but there have been some, yes. I’ve heard a lot about her.
Jury selection began Monday in Trump’s secret trial.
The presumptive GOP nominee faces 34 counts of falsifying business records.
The case centers on the alleged payment – before the 2016 election – of McDougal and porn actor Stormy Daniels to keep silent about alleged affairs.
