Late Thursday, the New York Times published an explosive report on the special relationship that Donald Trump and his children have enjoyed over the years with retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and his children.
According to the report, this relationship allegedly benefitted Trumps real estate business to the tune of $1 billion in Deutsche Bank loans enabled by Kennedys son, Justin Kennedy, a top executive at the bank at a time when other mainstream banks wouldnt lend Trump money because of his troubled business history.
This relationship also may have helped Trump secure a second vacancy on the Supreme Court with Kennedys announced retirement. The Times asserts that Trump, his administration and his children, notably Ivanka Trump and Donald Jr., nurtured this relationship once Trump was in office in order to convince Kennedy that his judicial legacy would be in good hands if he chose to step down at the end of the courts term. Kennedy had long talked about wanting to retire.
