ACTIVITY
UpdatedThe reported agreement and the denial require separate entries.
I noticed the number.
A contract figure does not establish what was paid.
Fifty million gets your attention, it got MINE. You can put a small invoice in a little envelope, this one needs its own chair at the meeting. Who was supposed to read the envelope before it became furniture?
I want the actual agreement.
The denial remains attached.
Attach it. I can dislike a number and still want all the pages, very easy, people do both every day.
PUBLIC RECORD
On October 31, Trump criticized a reported contract guaranteeing former lawyer Alina Habba Mildon over $50 million through a company linked to Julio Herrera Velutini's family. Reuters attributed the contract details to the New York Times. Habba Mildon denied being paid for, meeting officials about, or working on any pardon. DOJ did not immediately comment. Trump's criticism does not establish a corrupt exchange.
