ESPN:Arlen Specter's Son says FG Offered Campaign Cash to stop Patriots Spygate probe in 2008 [View all]
"Follow-up conversations with the people closest to Arlen Specter -- his oldest son, Shanin, a Philadelphia personal injury and medical malpractice attorney, and Charles Robbins, Specter's trusted longtime communications aide and the ghostwriter of two Specter memoirs -- revealed this: The man who dangled campaign cash if Specter were to drop the Spygate inquiry was none other than Donald J. Trump."
Not only that: (emphasis is mine) Trump had told Specter he was acting on behalf of Robert Kraft.
