Report: Donald Trump Has Already Confessed Stealing Inauguration Money

According to the Michael Lewis book The Fifth Risk, as reported by Daily Kos, Trump’s decision to fire Christie was because of Trump’s desire to pocket the money. Christie (a former federal prosecutor) said he couldn’t do it legally. So Trump got rid of him and put Pence in charge.

Here is a passage from the Lewis book which explains in graphic detail what happened:

“Trump was apoplectic, actually yelling, ‘You’re stealing my money! You’re stealing my f*cking money! What the f*ck is this??’ Seeing Bannon, Trump turned on him and screamed, ‘Why are you letting him steal my f*cking money?’

Bannon and Christie together set out to explain to Trump federal law. To which Trump replied, ‘F*ck the law. I don’t give a f*ck about the law. I want my f*cking money.’ Bannon and Christie tried to explain that Trump couldn’t have both his money and a transition.”


With Pence in charge, Trump was able to illegally pocket the $107 million. And the SDNY prosecutors no doubt have evidence to prove that this happens.

But that’s not all. The Lewis book shows that Trump confessed his criminal intention to steal the money to both Bannon and Christie, who can be called as witnesses and forced to testify about what they heard Trump say about his plan to steal the money.
