Trump with undue influence on a Republican senator.
This is news?
If there is a story its that Spector took a bribe.
Legacy of shame.
You misread the story. He didn't take the offer.
I read about 2/3 of the original ESPN story a few days ago. I stopped reading when it seemed it was all allegation and no facts. I've no idea if Spector took money or not.
Facts are important.
Yes.
The facts are that there is no record of Spector's getting a donation from Trump in the FEC reporting period (1/1/2008-12/31/2010) in question.
Given that that aligns with what the story reported Spector indicated, I suspect it is just true.
It would not have surprised me if it had proven to be false.
It also would not surprise me if Trump made that offer without having discussed it with Kraft, as he has struck me as the sort to try to gain leverage in less than savory ways.
But we have no proof of either conversation's having taken place, only that a donation did not happen, but the senatorial investigation went nowhere, too.
