(25,487 posts)8. Consensual. But the real story is the $130k payment for silence.
The President paid someone bribe money to remain silent about an affair.
That shows someone had information on a President of the United States that could be used for blackmail.
The payment/coverup is the story.... not the affair.

And it was less than a year after his marriage to Melania. Something he wouldn't want getting out.
