Manhattan DA is also investigating Trump for payments to Playboy model Karen McDougal, along with payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
McDougal was paid for the rights to her story in August 2016 by American Media, publisher of the National Enquirer, which buried it instead of publishing it, a practice known as catch and kill.
That the Manhattan investigation includes the McDougal payment, a detail first reported by the Wall Street Journal, raises the possibility Trump could face criminal charges over the attempts to keep both women from going public with their stories before the 2016 presidential election. Or, prosecutors could use the detail to suggest a pattern of conduct.
