Newsweek tomorrow: Trump company involved with foreign leaders and criminals

per Maddow. Article not out yet but ties Trump Org to foreign countries. Big bust, will compel him to pledge to cut ties. No evidence of illegal activity directly, just ties to nefarious types.

Could get interesting.

Why this would be game changing, I don't understanding. Media could have gone after him a long time ago.

They have been digging for a while. You'd expect some big stories to start coming out.

And this is where his amateur campaign will drop the ball. They should already have responses to every possible story, but they won't.
