AMI paid Karen McDougal $150,000 for limited story rights and promised media features, but Cohen's plea record says the principal purpose understood by participants was to prevent her account of an alleged Trump relationship from influencing the election. Cohen coordinated with AMI and campaign members. The amount is a publisher-to-rightsholder payment, not money received by Cohen or Trump.
