      Donald Trump's personal life is once again in the spotlight after a tape surfaced relating to an affair he had with former Playboy model Karen McDougal.

      She's been in the spotlight since claiming that she slept with him in 2006 and 2007.

      McDougal told her story to the National Enquirer for US$150,000 before the 2016 election. But the story was spiked by the owner, American Media Inc., which is headed by close Trump friend David Packer.

      Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, allegedly turned over a tape to authorities of a conversation he had with the president about forwarding a payment to Packer to offset his company's expense.

      This raises questions whether this was an unreported campaign expense because it helped Trump win the presidency.

      CNN has obtained the tape of the conversation between Cohen and Trump. You can listen to it below.
