WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump knew a man he named as a senior business adviser in 2010 had been convicted in a major Mafia-linked stock fraud scheme, according to Associated Press interviews and a review of court records.
Trump had worked with Felix Sater previously during the man's stint as an executive at Bayrock Group LLC, a real estate development firm that partnered with Trump on numerous projects after renting office space from the Trump Organization. But Sater's past was not widely known at the time because he was working as a government cooperator on mob cases and the judge overseeing Sater's own case kept the proceedings secret. After Sater's criminal history and past ties to organized crime came to light in 2007, Trump distanced himself from Sater.
Less than three years later, however, Trump tapped Sater for a business development role that came with the title of senior adviser to Donald Trump. Sater received Trump Organization business cards and was given an office within the Trump Organization's headquarters, on the same floor as Trump's own.

Ask a question normal response.
A question do you think Mr. Trump is a proud man?
>>> When was this guy convicted, and of what was he convicted. <<<
It was a while ago and he was busted for square dancing in a round house.
Ted Cruz squealed on him.
“Trump is completely mortgaged to real Wall Street fat cats. “
Are you serious? A businessman can’t do business with banks??? DOES HE GET BRIBES FROM THEM LIKE TED CRUZ DOES???
NO!
DOES he get loans from Goldman that his campaign donors pay back like Cruz? NO!
You and Ted Cruz give Christians a bad name. No wonder liberals hate us all!
Poor old Murdoch, doing his very best to muck it all up for fear of losing what, millions? Billions? Favors?
So damn tired of all the corruption, everywhere.
You do know that Trump is a major stockholder of Goldman and owes Goldman $550,000,000, right?
And billions more in other deals?
Keep digging Curzboys, your political grave is almost six feet down.
Nope. And it’s a 30 section ranch, thank you.
Rubio and Jeb can’t even beat Trump in Florida and cruz only up 5 on Texas.
I think we demolished this hit piece a couple months ago.
Goldman Sach and Mercer who owes taxes of 6 to billion are pure as the driven snow. /s
It won’t matter at all.
The victims of con men are the last to see the scam.
RedState...Yeah right, Cheap Labor WHORES.
IS TRUMP TAKING BRIBES/CONTRIBUTIONS from GOLDMAN LIKE CRUZ is?
You can’t be this dumb.
Do you understand the term “secured debt”? As in secured with collateral?
I wish my business had such a positive debt to assets ratio!
How about yours? Do you own a business?
Mob Past....At least he’s honorable, unlike politicians.
Murdoch owns the NY POST. what did you expect they want Rubio or Jeb.
Sounds like he would fit right in the DC crowd.
It was, but the Cruz Fan Club is watching their Messiah Implode.
And Trump brought him back three years later with an office on the same floor as Trump. Yeah, Trump dumped him alright.
and a repeat too. Wasn’t this posted a few times in the past?
