A Playboy model alleges she had an affair with President Trump more than a decade ago.

According to The New Yorker, former Playboy model Karen McDougal alleges she had an affair with President Trump more than a decade ago, resulting in extensive efforts to keep the story out of the press through payouts and contracts. Judy Woodruff breaks down the story with journalist Ronan Farrow, who helped break some of the revelations of sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein.
