TL;DR

The criminal case against former President Donald Trump involves not only his alleged affair with Stormy Daniels but also a separate liaison with Playboy model Karen McDougal. McDougal has said she had an affair with Trump in 2006 and 2007, and American Media Inc (AMI) paid her $150,000 for the rights to her story to prevent her from going public with it ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The U.S. Federal Election Commission ruled in 2021 that AMI's payment to McDougal amounted to an illegal campaign contribution that benefited Trump.
