• Ed Opperman interview of David Cay Johnston on Trump's history - mentions that: grandfather Frederick Trump ran a brothel; father Fred Trump was arrested for marching in support of the KKK; the announcement of his candidacy in 2015 was attended by paid actors; his 42nd Street Hyatt hotel cost $120 million but received $360 in government subsidies; he stood up for cocaine trafficker Joseph Weichselbaum and let him move into Trump Tower after his lenient 18-month sentence; he was friends with Adnan Khashoggi; and he called Roy Cohn a "second father"

Roy Cohn relationship

• Washington Post, "The man who showed Donald Trump how to exploit power and instill fear", 2016/06/16: "It was October 1973 and the start of one of the most influential relationships of Trump’s career. Cohn soon represented Trump in legal battles, counseled him about his marriage and introduced Trump to New York power brokers, money men and socialites."

Pedophilia evidence

• His mentor was Roy Cohn, a good friend of Craig J. Spence who ran a child sex ring in New York, and a close political associate of Trump has been Roger Stone, a protege of Cohn who assisted Cohn with his pedophilic blackmail operation
• Trump was good friends with pedophile ringleader Jeffrey Epstein, speaking highly of him in 2002 and having dinner with him multiple times (NYMag source for a 2003 party honoring Bill Clinton), but his attorney contradictorily claimed in 2016 that the two had no relationship outside of Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. A woman, Katie Johnson, claimed in a 2016 lawsuit that Epstein and Trump abused her as a teenager; the lawsuit was dropped in November 2016, apparently due to death threats against Johnson. Virginia Roberts, a confirmed victim of Epstein, was recruited directly from Mar-a-Lago at the age of 15, dressed in a provocative Mar-a-Lago uniform that Trump might have had a role in crafting.

• A major business partner of Trump's was Tevfik Arif, arrested in 2011 on charges of running a prostitution ring (including underage girls) that provided Russian and Ukrainian models to wealthy Turkish businessmen. The charges were later dropped, though that may well have been a cover-up as often happens in these cases.
