Trump Touts Ex-Mobster ‘Sammy The Bull’ As Moral Character Witness
HuffPost
“Sammy The Bull” worked with one “Teflon Don” for years, but he could never get close to the other one — Trump.
Former President Donald Trump thanked Salvatore “Sammy The Bull” Gravano over social media for an interview in which the notorious former Mafia underboss seemingly vouched for Trump’s moral character.
Gravano never managed to rope Trump into his illegal schemes. He said in an undated interview Trump posted to his platform Truth Social.
As a 1980s real estate mogul, Trump surrounded himself with former FBI officers for security, according to the ex-mobster.
“I tried a couple times to press him, and make arrangements where I could work with him. I did that with other big contractors. I had the power of the unions. I could do all kinds of little things, but I couldn’t get to him. He wouldn’t bite,” Gravano said in the clip.
A headline over the clip read: “THIS IS WHY WASHINGTON HATES HIM.”
