Is there anything or anyone that Trump’s involved with that isn’t a corrupt grift? Or worse?
That’s a rhetorical question because the answer is an obvious “no.” At least when it comes to everything I can think of: from Trump University to his Russia-loving 2016 campaign to his efforts to overthrow the election and now Truth Social – Trump has surrounded himself with grifters and/or shady Russians who enable his grift.
The New York Times has the latest stench reeking from Trump World: two brothers who just pleaded guilty to insider trading:
Two brothers from Miami pleaded guilty on Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan for their role in a nearly $23 million insider-trading scheme surrounding the 2021 announcement that former President Donald J. Trump’s social media company planned to merge with a cash-rich shell company.
Michael and Gerald Shvartsman, who had pleaded not guilty to securities fraud charges last summer, were set to go on trial later this month. But the brothers decided this week to forgo a trial, instead entering their guilty pleas before Judge Lewis J. Liman of U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Each man pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud.
