Ex-Playboy model's notes on alleged Trump affair written a decade later

The centerpiece of a New Yorker story on Karen McDougal, who says she had an affair with Donald Trump, is scribbled notes kept by the former Playboy playmate.
quote:
These notes, obtained by journalist Ronan Farrow, are presented as her personal reflections on the relationship –“later memorialized in an eight-page, handwritten document provided to the New Yorker.”
Readers could easily get the impression, as many journalists have, that McDougal wrote these notes during what she describes as a consensual relationship that began in 2006. But that is not the case.
A telltale marking on the entries, reproduced by the magazine, shows that McDougal wrote these pages either during or since the 2016 campaign—relying on memories that were at least a decade old.
The New Yorker does not dispute that McDougal's notes were written many years after the alleged relationship. Instead, the magazine attempted to tie them to McDougal's eventual deal with the National Enquirer's parent company, American Media Inc.
“The article does not present Karen McDougal’s written account as being made simultaneously with the events themselves,” a New Yorker spokesperson told me. “Rather, the article makes clear that the idea to sell her story to American Media Inc. first occurred in 2016. Furthermore, her written account is supported by additional sourcing and documentation referenced in the article.”
quote:
If that was suggested by the story, as the magazine maintains, the implication was rather subtle.
The more recent creation of the notes doesn’t mean that McDougal isn’t telling the truth. The magazine’s view is that the timing has no material impact on her credibility.
But the timing of the notes is revealing about how McDougal came to go public, as well as about the role of the National Enquirer.
The McDougal passages were written on a notebook marketed by fashion designer Izak Zenou, whose name appears at the bottom of one of the pages. He got into the business of creating office supplies in 2016, and the notebook was not available for sale on Amazon until March 2016.
The timing is significant.
Farrow writes that “the interactions that McDougal outlines in the document share striking similarities with the stories of other women who claim to have had sexual relationships with Trump, or who have accused him of propositioning them for sex or sexually harassing them.”
But in writing the notes in 2016 or 2017, the onetime Playmate of the Year did not foreshadow, by a decade, similar accusations by other women.
The notes say such things as: “I was into his intelligence + charm. Such a polite man. We talked for a couple of hours—then, it was ‘ON’! We got naked + had sex.”
After the New Yorker story was published last week, a White House spokesperson said: “This is an old story that is just more fake news. The president says he never had a relationship with McDougal.”

If 35 or 40 year old yearbooks can be modified , sure. Go ahead and go for it.

I've spent the last two years listening to the media and every liberal on the planet tell me that Trump is a mid-functioning retard.
This is obviously a made up story.

Leftists have succeeded in showing that Trump had sex with numerous desirable women. That should hurt him in the election!

If these forensics are true, and that represents her 'proof,' then her allegations are worthless.
'Nuff said - bring on the next 'victim.'

Once again, why in the hell is the Left trying to shame consenting adults for what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms?

Life imitates art.
Bloom County once did a series of cartoons on fraudulent Elvis diaries (making fun of the Hitler diaries hoax).
The hoax was discovered when forensic scientists looked at the diaries and realized it was written on Dukes Of Hazzard stationary.
