Youre attacking her lawyer. he went to abc and he got her nothing. then he got her $150,000, and that makes him a bad guy? >> i dont know if youre playing devils advocate or not but thats definitely not fair. this is the same lawyer who told her ami had put money in an escrow account. >> shes telling her story and thats what you supposedly want out of this lawsuit. >> look, im going to agree with you to one extent, which is that we are very pleased as a result of this lawsuit she say able to do ...

I hadnt realized about the catch and kill thing that ami says they dont do. the new yorker had interviewed a former ami employees who said thats something they do. >> i agree with the governor. first of all, i couldnt take my eyes off of it. it was such a compelling interview. she was so -- this is going to sound maybe weird but very relatable. she was very relatable as a human. not in terms of what she did but a human being. she gave some honest answers about feeling guilty and so she came acro...

You know, she was relatable. and thats one of the reasons were proud to represent her. >> and the decision to come forward now? >> now thenition to come forward now has everything to do with the fact that she meants wants able to defend herself. and for the past year, ami, the parent company of the national inquirer has said something different publicly and done things differently publicly. so the fact they say she was always able to come forward, she could respond to the media, thats not how th...

Ami. >> mark, she says she wants her life rights back from a plrks i. thats what they own in that contract. is that something she is sue to get back? >> you can sue. when you say you want your life right backseat a and youre not this for the money, thats another thing thats perplexing to me. i dont understand the end game. its probably above my pay grade. it doesnt make a lot of sense unless shes out there and wants to increase her fame quotient and figure this is good way to get her career out....

>> to get my truth out there. i wasnt looking for money, clearly, but when he said its worth many millions, im like, you know -- >> that was something that was hard to pass up? >> sure, of course. but if you fast forward, i ended up not wanting to do that deal so we were going to go to abc and tell the story just to get the story out there and for nothing, there was no pay. i just backed out, i just brackbrack -- backed out. then he won the republican nomination, and everyone was interested in t...

You think donald trump would have been aware of this deal? >> one of the big complaints with why i think my contract is illegal is because his attorney was talking to my attorney. >> youre saying donald trumps personal attorney michael cohen. >> correct. without me even knowing, without my knowledge. i would assume maybe -- you know, i know his attorney did. i cant say that he knew. >> former "playboy" model karen mcdougal claiming donald trumps personal lawyer was involved is. she is suing to b...

Have been free to tell your story since 2016. so they dont appear to be trying to prevent her from telling her story. so the lawsuit is mysterious. ill leave it at that. >> certainly a very different dynamic than we see with stormy daniels where you have trumps personal attorney trying to enforce a bargain for exchange which is i give you this and you keep your mouth closed. we are not hearing from ami saying, hey, you had a deal and youre breaching that deal and everything youre saying right no...

So im new at this. im learning you all probably know this. im learning this stuff. and. >> would it have been potentially damaging if your story had come out in the last month or two of the campaign? >> i dont know how damaging it would have been. you have seen the other stories about him. that didnt hurt him. could it have been damaging politically speaking? probably not. however, i think it could have damaged maybe family. i dont know. but i mean, it depends on who you ask. it could have damag...

She said i want to control the narrative. now that i am being told i cant control it, thats why i want to talk. to jeffreys point, areva, we have now heard the story. >> yeah, erica. it is a little convoluted. there was a lot of money. she was told she could make a lot of money telling the story. but as she is negotiating with ami she said she was glad they decided to bury the story because she didnt want to hurt him and she didnt want the story out there. she liked the idea that she would get t...

Contract to sign very quickly. she was pressured into it. she didnt understand virtually anything about the core features of the contract. and we have come to learn that basically the day the contract was signed an e-mail was sent from keith davidson to michael cohen saying "call me." and there was a phone conversation where michael cohen was informed that the mcdougal deal was done. and this was after the fact that ami looped in trumps people when karen first went to them and kind of gave infor...
