Maybe it was legal advice. They copped a plea to avoid getting themselves dragged through court.
Actually, I was wondering when and how the company’s legal team were going to realize they’re not covered by the Trump’s sovereign immunity and decided to start taking the appropriate actions to prevent their disbarment and own prosecution.
Trump has been openly soliciting and accepting bribes. It’s beyond imagining thst a no bid contract for over ten times what the original cost estimate was didn’t include a kick back. You can grift all you want, so long as Trump gets his taste.
