Ms McDougal’s lawsuit in some respects echoes a complaint made to the Federal Election Commission by the government watchdog group Common Cause alleging that AMI coordinated with the Trump campaign when it negotiated a “catch and kill” agreement to ensure Ms McDougal’s story was quashed. “Her complaint today reinforces what we alleged in our complaint,” Paul S Ryan, a Common Cause vice president, said of Ms McDougal’s lawsuit. “Ms McDougal thought that such a deal could give her the best of all worlds – her private story could stay private, she could make money, and she could revitalize her career,” the suit says.
