With Bob talking that mess..little snip about Trump from today's Gangland News:
-As related in investigative reporter Wayne Barrett's authoritative 1992 biography, Trump: The Deals and the Downfall, Roy Cohn bragged that Trump called him "fifteen to twenty times a day, always asking what's the status of this, what's the status of that?"
-At the same time that Cohn was whispering in Trump's ear, his other clients included a slew of mobsters, including Genovese Boss Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno. In his book, Barrett quotes an unnamed former Cohn aide who described a private meeting between Salerno and Trump inside the East Side townhouse where Cohn had his law office. Whether or not they met, the two had some clear business overlaps: When Trump built a luxury residential tower on Third Avenue that he dubbed Trump Plaza, he gave the biggest and most lucrative construction contract to S&A Concrete, the company Salerno controlled jointly with Gambino family boss Paul (Big Paul) Castellano.
-it didn't matter who you were...before the big indictments came down in '84/'85, you weren't building anything in NYC, or Jersey for that matter, without the OK from the Concrete Club.
