How you Doin'?: Trump Donors Include Pair Of Colombo Mob Family Mafia Figures
NOVEMBER 1--Donald Trump, who derides the Bidens as “an organized crime family” whose members should be “locked up,” has benefitted from about $40,000 in campaign contributions connected to a pair of actual Mafia figures, records show.
The donations to Trump’s reelection effort have come from two wealthy automobile dealers who have been identified by law enforcement officials and mob turncoats as members of the Colombo crime family, one of New York’s five La Cosa Nostra outfits.
One of the donors, John Staluppi, 73, first met the president in the late-80s when the men worked together to design the Donald Trump signature series Cadillac limousine. Trump’s deal with Staluppi and his partner--both of whom were convicted felons--was the first time the developer licensed his name for a product. The limo was marketed years before the Trump handle began appearing on steaks, water, bedding, cologne, vodka, etc..
Staluppi and his wife Jeanette were also officers of a helicopter charter service that was paid to ferry gamblers to Atlantic City casinos, including three owned by Trump. Staluppi, who had $250,000 credit lines at each Trump gambling joint, was eventually denied a casino service license by New Jersey regulators after FBI and Department of Justice officials identified him as a “member of the Colombo family, a career offender cartel.”
