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."

As the owner of a casino you come into contact with all kinds. High rollers always get comped all kinds of stuff. This does not mean Trump was pals.
And, you know about Trump’s bills how? Even if true, these are business loans, not laons to finance a campaign. You are grasping at straws here. Trump pays his bills with his own money, Cruz paid back the financed loans with donor money - not out of his own pocket. This is apples and oragnes. Next item of misinformation please. You people are the worst pathetic creatures I’ve ever run across. You can’t connect A to B.
Sez a lot.
She died in 2014 but is supporting Trump for President?
Whales get a lot of attention. That does not mean that the owner of the casino has an intimate relationship with them.
By being a whale gambling much $$$$$$$$$$$$
Ok, the concept that Donald Trump the person could own a private helicopter and Trump’s casino could own a different helicopter seems to elude Trump supporters.
I keep repeating “personal” because she referred to “personal”. Not a casino one. Personal. Not corporate. Personal. Not sure how to make it more clear.

She died in 2014. She probably knew no difference. How convenient that we can not ask her. They were getting stroked by the casino, not unusual.
How convenient that you can declare “she knew no difference”.
I get it. Chanting “Build a wall” has somehow made Trump pure as the driven snow.
No. Making my CCW good in all fifty states, did.
Cruz hasn't even talked about things that will effect us directly.
>> Cruz paid back the financed loans with donor money - not out of his own pocket. <<
You’re right; they’re not the same at all. Cruz put his own home up for mortgage as collateral to lend money for his run for the Senate. If he lost, he’d’ve eaten the loan. When he won the primary, his campaign repaid the loan. No favors done, and he owes nothing.
Trump borrowed hundreds of millions from banks. No collateral, just a business deal. And he still owes it. They literally own him.
You have no problem with mister stabby!?
Remind me to NEVER invite you to a party.
I don’t know a mr stabby.....
Beck. Glenn Beck. You know, the guy who got a visit from the secret service because he said on his radio show that if he was with Trump in a room with a knife, “The stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”
And you don’t have a problem with this, apparently. Or you didn’t know.
No I really don’t have a problem with Glen Beck.
Heh.
Hypocrite. Hypocrite of the highest degree.
Whining about Trump’s language on another thread when Beck actually threatened violence.
But because he supports Cruz and wanted to stab Trump, it’s somehow okay in your mind.
And you call us cultists.
Wow.
now now, calm down a bit, your getting all hysterical for no reason. No need is doing that.....

Cruz Uses Same "Bombshell" smear as Mitt: Cruz tells Media that Media is sitting on bombshells

If he lies about the non relationship, I guess he’d lie about the wall too.. and illegals... and healthcare.. yada yada yada...
Reminds me of another liar in the WH “ I never had sex with that woman..”...also a friend of Trumps.
Like Obama denied Rev. Wright!
