Video Shows Trump With Alleged Mobster Robert LiButti

A newly unearthed video shows Donald Trump standing next to alleged mobster Robert LiButti during a “WrestleMania IV” event in 1988, appearing to contradict the Republican presidential nominee’s repeated claims that he never knew LiButti. LiButti’s daughter told Yahoo News that Trump invited them to the event as his guests. In the video, Trump, ex-wife Ivana, and LiButti can be seen sitting the front row together for the 3.5-hour event. LiButti, who died in 2014, was banned from New Jersey casinos in 1991 due to his relationship with New York Mafia don John Gotti. On multiple occasions, Trump has said he wasn’t that close with LiButti and insisted that he didn’t “recognize the name.” Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump’s campaign, told Yahoo News: “That was obviously a massive event, which took place decaded ago. Mr. Trump attended many similar events with thousands of people during the time period.”
