RUMOURS of President Trump's encounters with various adult actresses and Playboy playmates have been rife.
We have taken a look at all of the allegations of trysts with the US president, including claims from a former nursery school teacher turned playmate.
Who is Karen McDougal?
She is a nursery school teacher who was "discovered" during a swimsuit competition.
After being plucked from Indiana she became one of the most popular Playboy playmates in the 90s.
She was the runner-up of "the sexiest playmate of the decade".
It was rumoured she received more than £100,000 from US tabloid The National Enquirer for a tell-all story about an alleged encounter with Donald Trump.
The magazine never published the story, but it is alleged that a nine month affair took place in 2006.
Devid Pecker, who is the chair and CEO of American Media Inc, which owns the magazine, is said to be a supporter of Trump.
The magazine later said a payment was made for exclusive rights to a story related a relationship Karen may have had with a married man, and for fitness columns written by her.
But now McDougal has filed a lawsuit in California seeking release from the agreement for her to remain silent.
In the lawsuit, McDougal claimed she and Trump engaged in a 10-month extramarital "romantic relationship" in 2006 and 2007, a time period that overlaps with his alleged affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Trump's wife Melania Trump gave birth to the president's youngest son Barron in 2006.
What does she say happened with Donald Trump?
She claims she had a consensual relationship with Trump.
A friend of the playmate told The Wall Street Journal that an affair between Karen and Trump lasted for months.
It is also claimed that the pair went to the Miss Universe Pageant at Trump's invitation.
Karen posted a picture of herself with the present at the pageant and at another event in Las Vegas.
If the allegations are true, Trump was with Karen a year after marrying his current wife, Melania.
In a handwritten note to the New Yorker in February 2018 she claims: "I was so nervous! I was into his intelligence and charm – such a polite man.
“We talked for a couple hours, then it was ‘ON’! We got naked and had sex.
“He told me, ‘you are special’.”
About the allegations?
When the allegations of an affair surfaced, Trump's campaign spokesman addressed them.
As he ran as a presidential candidate Hope Hicks said the campaign had no knowledge of an agreement with Karen.
She added the affair allegations were "totally untrue".
A spokesman told The New Yorker: “This is an old story that is just more fake news. The President says he never had a relationship with McDougal.”
