1. Some of Donald Trump's most well-known lies (like being Swedish and graduating first in his class) started in this November 1976 New York Times feature. trumpfile.org/roy-cohn-gets-…
Like Trump, one of the people quoted for this New York Times feature also lied about his ancestry. Before his death, real estate tycoon Samuel J. LeFrak claimed his family originated in France. They were actually from Russia. trumpfile.org/roy-cohn-gets-…
2. In March 1988, Donald Trump bought the Plaza Hotel with the help of Tom Barrack, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
In 2016, Barrack launched a Trump super PAC with Paul Manafort and became a senior adviser to the Trump campaign. trumpfile.org/donald-trump-b…
3. In January 1983, Trump mentor and mob attorney Roy Cohn wrote a letter to President Reagan with a subtle threat.
The underlying message was "you work with Rupert Murdoch, or his papers won't work for you." trumpfile.org/roy-cohn-to-re…
I don't know if anyone else finds this interesting, but I like to see how close Trump people are/were to each other. I have a little map going. I'll share screenshots like this more often if you guys are interested.
4. On July 17, 2008, The Trump Organization purchased TrumpRussia(.)com. The family still owns the domain name today, under a different Trump company. trumpfile.org/the-trump-orga…
This week's most read Trump File post is about the 2020 election "war games training" hosted by the Republican Attorneys General Association in September. trumpfile.org/raga-hosts-atl…

1. Salon reports that “an unusual coalition" of groups is behind voter suppression bills... There’s nothing unusual about this coalition. These groups have worked together for decades as the Council for National Policy.
2. In a 2004 interview, Donald Trump said he doesn't expect his buildings -- or the country -- to still be standing in 100 years. "Some terrible things are going to happen."
Did he know that HE'D be one of the terrible things?
3. Trump crashed a wedding this weekend to complain about the 2020 election and how kids are treated after crossing the border (yes, really). trumpfile.org/trump-crashes-…
Remember how I tied Jack to the report on election interference and Russian propaganda?
Last night I had shadow-banned accounts after me because of a tweet about him. So I thought I'd share my first sign that J.P. has a Twitter farm like Russia's IRA. cc: @jimstewartson
Most of the tweets in that video are word-for-word what Jack tweeted. It happens all the time with his tweets.
For context, "shadow banned" accounts are accounts that Twitter is limiting from view because of suspicious activity. This disclaimer appears over their replies.
Jack's tweets are also used on a Trump CloutHub account that pretends to be verified. I wrote about this in January. That's how I came across what looks like a J.P. Twitter farm.
1. In the spring of 1986, Donald Trump told a doctor and Nobel Peace Prize winner that he's going to get Ronald Reagan to make him an ambassador to the Soviet Union. trumpfile.org/trump-im-askin…
2. An Atlantic City hotel owner worried that Donald Trump wanted to monopolize the city's gambling industry for himself. A New Jersey judge thought that was crazy. (Updated)
I am finishing up a post about a very long 1990 Playboy Magazine interview that is just insane. It probably would have cost Trump any election prior to 2016. Here are some of the less disastrous comments. ⬇️
Today in 1993, a New Jersey judge ordered Sands Casino to pay $8 million to settle a property dispute with Donald Trump and Bob Guccione. trumpfile.org/donald-trump-b…
In the 1980s, Trump blocked Guccione from selling his never-completed Atlantic City property. But in March of 1989, Trump bought the property from Guccione after the 'Penthouse' owner threatened to expose his affair with Marla Maples.
Sands Casino’s parent company sued both Trump and Guccione, alleging that they conspired to lock other investors out of the area so Trump could pursue a monopoly on Atlantic City gambling.
1. Yesterday's post about Giuliani / Trump associate Sam Kislin has been updated to include the former FBI agent Kislin hired to defend him. The agent became so entangled in organized crime that the FBI denounced him. trumpfile.org/giuliani-donor…
2. The hospital executive who lives at Trump Tower Chicago has resigned after allegedly misusing his power to vaccinate friends and associates before qualified vaccine recipients. (Updated) trumpfile.org/trump-tower-ch…
3. Donald Trump & Don Jr. are crossing their fingers that a Trump campaign lawyer and close associate of Sidney Powell can save them from lawsuits surrounding January 6. trumpfile.org/donald-trump-a…
