Don’s £30k campaign funds ‘linked to dons’

You’d think for a man who accused his rival Joe Biden of being in “an organised crime family” whose members should be “locked up”, Donald Trump would make sure he was as clean as a whistle.

The donors were two wealthy car dealers who have been identified by law enforcement officials as mob turncoats and members of the Colombo crime family.

John Rosatti, 76, and lifelong friend John Staluppi, 73, both dug deep for Donnie.

It remains to be seen if the pair will demand their cash back or let bye-dons be bye-dons.
