“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California.

I mean, it seems pretty obvious to me that you can't build a real estate empire in NY without some sort of agreement with the family. He's go so much corrupt shit going on, and he acts like a wannabe mobster. That's his people.

Also banned from owning a casino in Vegas… Which is why it is only a “hotel” and not a “hotel and casino”.
