The case against Donald Trump is focused on a payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels. However, the indictment also mentions another woman.
According to background documents, a payment was made on Mr Trump’s behalf to “Woman 1” – who evidence suggests is Karen McDougal.
McDougal is an ex-Playboy model and, like Daniels, claimed she had an affair with Trump.
She said it lasted 10 months. Trump has denied it ever happened.
