David Corn: Trump ‘Time and Again’ Has Lied About His Mob Ties

‘So, you have this direct contradiction when he tells people he knows he’s working with mob guys’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CORN: "Most of those that you put up are people who he did do business with. And, you know, some people say the construction work in new York City in the ‘80s had to do business in Atlantic City in the ‘90s had to do business with the mob because mobbed up territories. But what’s really important here is that Donald Trump again and again and again has lied or not told the truth about his connections with these people and the best example I’ve put in that story that you promoed there is that he was deposed in 2007 in a case in which he was suing a “New York Times” reporter about a book he had written and he was asked in that deposition, have you ever had any associations with mob people? And he said, under oath, no. Not at all. I haven’t. Two years earlier in an interview to the same reporter he was asked about his early dealings in Atlantic City and the two people you mentioned showed up there who he leased his initial property for, his first casino there. And in that interview he referred to both of them as mob guys. One was a small-time mobster and the other guy might have been involved in the plot to kill Jimmy Hoffa. So, you have this direct contradiction when he tells people he knows he’s working with mob guys. But then when it comes up under oath, he says no."
