JERUSALEM (AP) — American casino mogul Sheldon Adelson will reportedly give Israeli police testimony in an investigation into allegations of wrongdoing by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel's Channel 2 reported Sunday that Adelson, a close confidante of Netanyahu, and his wife will be questioned by police during their visit to Israel next week.

The Adelsons will be questioned about allegations that Netanyahu tried to trade better coverage in a major Hebrew newspaper in exchange for reduced circulation of a free daily paper owned by Adelson.

According to the report, Adelson only agreed to talk to police when they informed him he wasn't suspected of criminal activity.

1. Will Adeldon meet with Trump in Israel?

2. To say nothing of his reputed Sinaloa Cartel and Macau mafia ties.

But that would be up to U.S. authorities, for whom Sheldon seems to be above the law.

3. Netanyahu may soon be impeached

FYI..There's several serious investigations going on against him for corruption, bribes, and gifts and he's in serious risk of impeachment and conviction.

Factoid - Ehud Olmert, Israel's last prime minister, was convicted on several counts of corruption and in prison until 2019.

Whatever you may think of Israel, their version of the Dept. of Justice is independent and aggressively investigates and prosecutes politicians. Even Itzhak Rabin was forced out of office for years because his wife opened a joint account in the US with 10K in it.
