Business Insider reports:
President Donald Trump’s legal troubles with his former lawyer Michael Cohen took another, damaging twist on Thursday when Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, alleged that multiple women had been paid off, and that Trump may even have covered up a pregnancy.
Trump already stands accused of having paid off Daniels, and in tapes published by the New York Times, Trump and Cohen are on record discussing making payments to former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
Additionally, Trump has long been plagued by rumors that he fathered an illegitimate child and paid a former Trump Tower doorman $30,000 to keep quiet about the affair.
Breaking: Donald Trump conspired with Michael Cohen to pay off multiple other women prior to Election Day in 2016. They were also concerned about a pregnancy. Cohen has evidence and info in his possession and it must be released to the public. Now! #Basta

And for the haters out there, check my track record. I don’t make claims that are nonsense.
