White House Investigates Alleged Pay-for-Access Scheme Involving Grenell and Kennedy Center Funds
White House counsel is investigating a potential pay-for-influence scheme involving former Kennedy Center director Ric Grenell and Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon. A text message allegedly offered Mildon access to President Trump in exchange for a donation that never arrived. Mildon’s wife, former Trump attorney Alina Habba, accused Grenell of misappropriating funds, while Grenell denies sending the message or receiving any money.
