This statement is believed to pertain to David Pecker. Pecker heads American Media Inc. (AMI), the company that McDougal claims bought the rights to her story about an alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
McDougal has also publicly stated that AMI offered false career promises in exchange for the rights to her account about the alleged affair. However, after McDougal sued AMI earlier this year, she now has the right to discuss what she says occurred between herself and Trump.
Following the “David” statement, Cohen mentions “we’ll have to pay” before Trump says “Pay with cash.” The attorney then responds by repeatedly telling Trump “no, no, no, no, no.”
The Aftermath of the Released Audio Tape
Reactions from Americans have varied since CNN’s public release of the audio tape. Some people have questioned the legality of Cohen secretly taping Trump. Others have cited the tape as an example of what they perceive as corruption and dishonesty from Trump.
Trump has not yet made any public statements regarding the released audio tape.
