Video shows Trump with mob figure he denied knowing.

[Jacque67 7,328]

uncovered video appears to contradict Donald Trumps claim that he never knew a high-stakes gambler who was banned from New Jersey casinos for alleged ties to organized crime.

The reputed mob figure, Robert LiButti, can be seen standing alongside Trump in the front row of a 1988 WrestleMania match in Atlantic City, N.J. LiButti wasnt there by accident, according to his daughter, Edith Creamer, who also attended the event. We were his guests, she told Yahoo News in a text message this week.

The video was given to Yahoo News by a confidential source who discovered it in the online archives of World Wrestling Entertainment, the sponsor of WrestleMania.

The video appears to lend new support to assertions Trump once had close relations with LiButti, who was banned from the states casinos in 1991 because of his ties to Mafia boss John Gotti, then the chief of the Gambino crime syndicate. Separately, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission that same year levied $650,000 in fines against the Trump Plaza hotel over its dealings with LiButti, who gambled huge sums at the hotels casino. LiButti died in 2014.

Thats definitely Bob LiButti standing right next to Donald Trump, said David Cay Johnston, an author and former Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist who, as a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, extensively interviewed the gambler in the early 1990s. At the request of Yahoo News, Johnston reviewed the video of the WrestleMania IV contest, held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall on March 27, 1988. Its at an event that Bob described to me a quarter century ago when I spent an afternoon in his Saddle River home, Johnston added. The WrestleMania event is just one of many times that Trump was close to Bob, who was the biggest loser at Trump casinos and therefore Trumps most important customer.

The meeting was 28 years ago and the mobster died 2 years ago. How pertinent to anything.

It's right up there with Donald sits in big boy chair. The tinfoil hat DDS crowd has run out of material.

I mean all we got on Hillary is obstruction of justice, several FBI probes of her and her people inside rigging of her primary election, donating huge sums of money to the wife of the FBI agent investigating her, the Justice dept official overseeing her investigation kept her campaign Manger out of jail, using state dept access to make her husband millions in speak fees and graft payoffs

OK I could go on but tired of typing

Trump on the other hand sat in a big boy chair and stood next to some guy in a video 29 years ago.

Yes people with DDS are blind or can't see thru the tinfoil

the big boy chair is just funny, that has nothing to do with foil.

what about all the folks suing trump for the money he owes them for their work?

or the fact that he hasn't paid taxes on the backs of other people's money - that he lost bigly?

or the rape allegation.

never mind all the times he put his tiny hands on people who didn't want his tiny hands touching him.

no go? not important?

Very pertinent.

You seriously think he could have built in Atlantic City without laundering money????

This will all come out if he's elected.
