Donald Trump had a long relationship with a reputed New Jersey mobster, who gambled at the real estate billionaire's Atlantic City casino, flew on Trump's helicopter, and partied on his yacht, the gangster's daughter reportedly claims.
Trump has denied having a personal relationship with Robert LiButti, who was banned in 1991 from New Jersey casinos for his ties to the late Mafia boss John Gotti, Michael Isikoff, chief investigative correspondent at Yahoo News reports.
That same year, Trump's hotel casino in Atlantic City, the Trump Plaza, was fined $200,000 by New Jersey regulators for violating anti-discrimination laws involving complaints linked to LiButti's racist behavior inside the casino. Trump wasn't held personally liable for the discrimination violations, and there's no indication he was ever questioned in the 1991 investigation, Isikoff notes.
"I have heard he is a high roller, but if he was standing here in front of me, I wouldn't know what he looked like," Trump told the Philadelphia Inquirer in February 1991.
But Edith Creamer, the daughter of the late LiButti, who died in 2014, refutes that.
"He's a liar," she told Yahoo News in the course of two telephone interviews.
"Of course he knew him. I flew in the [Trump] helicopter with [Trump's then wife] Ivana and the kids. My dad flew it up and down [to Atlantic City]. My 35th birthday party was at the Plaza and Donald was there. After the party, we went on his boat, his big yacht. I like Trump, but it pisses me off that he denies knowing my father. That hurts me."
Yet she said she's still a Trump supporter in his White House bid.
"I'm voting for Trump," she tells Yahoo News. "He'll change the world — I think we need that."

Another nothing burger. Enjoy the flavor of nothing :)
Has Trump disavowed the Klan yet? If he has not he should!
I guy who spent time spending money in Trump’s Atlantic City establishments is a relationship. No, that’s called a customer.
Scorched earth against Trump leading into a primary the following day. I just saw one thread taken down about Trump slandering warriors. This is mob ties.
It’s posted here, but it comes from out in MEDIA-LAND.
The No. 1 mobster in Rochester came to the funeral of an elderly friend of mine. They were neighbors at some point.
The building trades were run by the mafia in NYC in the1980s
The teamsters were the worst
I’d rather that Trump had connections with this guy rather than Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, Bernie Goldberg or any of the neo-con-artists that populate the republican party.
Birds of a feather and all that......
Or the National Review!
This is getting crazy! They are afraid of Trump because he is a threat to the New World Order!
good grief what is the point of even posting articles like this?
This was all put out there by Cruz saying he should show his taxes because it might show mafia connections, yes you can’t make this crap up anymore.
Better a mob guy here and there than the relationships that most politicians have with Saudis and Goldman Sachs types.
Saw a couple people banned too over the weekend by posting utter drivel like this about the Klan and being racist.
does your mafia ties show on your taxes too?
sarc
Like Obama denied Rev. Wright?
least with the mafia you know where you stand , unlike the establishment which Cruz will find out soon if he does not back away from them
Do all customers get private use of Trump’s helicopter? If not, how does a customer get into that select circle I wonder? By knowing someone, perhaps?
Boy, they’re trying to come up with ANYTHING that will stop an indecided from voting for Trump and to give Cruz something new to talk about at rallies. But saying a women who died in 2014 is today refuting Trump’s denial is beyond dirty. Here’s the quote:
But Edith Creamer, the daughter of the late LiButti, who died in 2014, refutes that.
(That’s a joke on bad writing.)
