Trump doled out big fat raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash to nine witnesses in various criminal cases against Dementia Don.
Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump’s media company.
The benefits have flowed from Trump’s businesses and campaign committees, according to a ProPublica analysis of public disclosures, court records and securities filings. One campaign aide had his average monthly pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500. Another employee got a $2 million severance package barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. And one of the campaign’s top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff, where she is now the fourth-highest-paid employee.No doubt it was entirely coincidental that some of the payola was paid after a witness was subpoenaed but before they testified.
Well, witness tampering is a tough crime to prosecute unless, of course, there's a pattern.
Are at least nine instances a pattern?
Just askin'.
