Playmate cleared to spill on Trump

- Megan Cerullo

A FORMER Playboy model who claims she had an affair with President Trump is now free to dish about the alleged romance.

Karen McDougal, 47, was released Wednesday from a contract with American Media Inc. that prevented her talking about Trump.

The settlement agreement, ends a lawsuit McDougal brought against the tabloid news company, which owns The National Enquirer, according to The New York Times.

American Media bought the rights to McDougal’s story in August 2016 but never published it, in a tabloid maneuver known as “catch and kill.”

President Trump tweeted Wednesday about the drawing of a man who allegedly threatened porn star Stormy Daniels.

“A sketch years later about a nonexisten­t man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!” Trump tweeted in response to a supporter.
