Trumps children out of wedlock

The New Republic claimed in an article that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office determined a Trump Tower doorman was paid $30, to hide a story alleging former President Donald Trump had a child out-of-wedlock.

Verdict: Misleading

The Manhattan DA’s office determined that a Trump doorman was paid $30, for exclusive rights about the claim in a “catch and kill” scheme.

However, there is no evidence that Trump fathered a child, and the woman allegedly involved denied the allegations.

Fact Check:

Trump was charged by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg with 34 counts of falsifying business records, according to an Apr.

4 press release. The press release also noted a $30, made by American Media (AMI) to former Trump Tower doorman Dino Sajudin for exclusive rights to a story that Trump fathered a child out of wedlock.
