He apparently lied under oath to deny he associated with organized crime figures.
Jonathan Ernst/Reuters via ZUMA Press Last week, media coverage of Donald Trump may have hit an inflection point, when major news outlets, while covering Trump's latest birther shenanigans, characterized the GOP presidential nominee's remarks as a lie. Though Trump has scored more pants-on-fire false statements than any other candidate in this campaign, mainstream news outlets have struggled over whether and how to use the L-word when reporting on him. With this birther-driven breakthrough in coverage, there now remain plenty of brazenly untrue assertions—deliberate lies or not—uttered by Trump that warrant close examination. One topic ripe for such scrutiny is Trump's associations with organized crime. For years during his business career, Trump worked or associated with proven or alleged mobsters. (Trump's longtime lawyer, the thuggish and deceased Roy Cohn, repped numerous Mafia bosses, some of whom were connected to Trump projects.) Yet when asked about his links to the mob, Trump has repeatedly made false comments and has contradicted himself—to such a degree it seems he has flat-out lied about these relationships, even when he was under oath.
We do not know for sure how many times Donald Trump met with Al Sharpton.

David Corn is a hack.
Even if he was working with the mob, that tells me he knows How to Get Things Done, and he is STILL ALIVE to enjoy himself.
Isn’t ALL Union COnstruction run by the Mob??
How many times does Obama lie about knowing terrorists? At least if Trump had mob connections its with a group that is Pro USA. Unlike Obama who has connections with groups that want to blow us up.
