A recording of a conversation in which President Donald Trump and his lawyer discuss a payoff over an alleged affair with a model has been broadcast by CNN. Mr. Trump and Michael Cohen discuss buying the rights to former Playboy model Karen McDougal’s story. The audiotape was recorded in September 2016, two months before the election. The affair allegedly dates to 2006. Mr. Trump’s current lawyer Rudy Giuliani says no money was paid, and the tape does not show evidence of any crime.
