Karen McDougal, the former Playboy model who has alleged having an affair with President Donald Trump more than a decade ago, said she is armed with “really good attorneys” to deal with whatever fallout—legal or political—comes her way.
“There could be a big lawsuit, like against me. There could be financial ruin. But that's why I have really good attorneys to make sure that doesn't happen,” McDougal told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an interview aired Thursday night.
