ESPN: Trump offered late senator ‘money’ to stop ‘Spygate’ investigation into Patriots – By Andrew Callahan (Mercury News) / May 26 2021
Former president Donald Trump and Patriots owner Robert Kraft denied efforts to affect the 2008 investigation
The son of late U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter and a ghostwriter for the Pennsylvania lawmaker claim former President Donald Trump offered Specter campaign cash in 2008 to stop his probe of the Spygate scandal, according to an ESPN report published Wednesday.
Through spokesmen, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Trump denied any effort to affect Specter’s investigation.
“Mr. Kraft is not aware of any involvement of Trump on this topic and he did not have any other engagement with Specter or his staff,” a Patriots spokesman wrote to ESPN via email. A Patriots spokesman declined to offer further comment to the Boston Herald Wednesday.
“This is completely false,” Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told ESPN. “We have no idea what you’re talking about.”
