7. Daniels and McDougal had credible stories of actual affairs he had while Melania was pregnant

Had they come forward with their stories and their corroborating friends who knew about the affairs, everything about Trump and other women could have blown up and Melania would never have done that interview with Anderson Cooper defending Trump and calling all the accusers liars. Instead by keeping Daniels and McDougal quiet, both he and Melania were able to influence voters by claiming that the allegations of grabbing were false and that the tape was merely locker room boy talk that didn't amount to anything. The public humiliation and lack of support from Melania could have turned voters against him, especially women voters who were on fence.
