Secret Pay-for-Play Text Rocks Trump White House

“Top Trump adviser Ric Grenell allegedly outlined a stunning pay-for-influence offer to a Turkish billionaire last year: access to ‘POTUS,’ ‘VIP events’ and administration officials, according to a text message that the White House counsel is investigating,” Axios reports.

“Administration officials say the text is a key piece of evidence in the White House’s investigation — ordered by President Trump — into whether Grenell abused the president’s trust and misappropriated a potential multimillion-dollar donation to the Kennedy Center, which Grenell led at the time.”
