Not so fast.
Trump has been using non-stop innuendo against all the rest of the Republican field since day one. In the quote, Cruz doesn’t state that he is accusing Trump of anything. He “wonders if...” there is anything in Trump’s tax returns that would point to the Mafia connection.
And as someone who has some experience in construction in the tri-state area, it would be highly unusual for anything to get built without the participation of the mob.
Just sayin’.
Amen.
