Mafia Don? Trump and other presidents who flirted with the mob

I read somewhere that Nixon pardon Gyp DeCarlo.

I don’t think so. Here is a full list of his pardons.

He commuted his sentence. Not a pardon. DeCarlo had cancer and died five months later.

Thanks Scott.

I just wrote a review of a Netflix Docuseries called Fear City. It used Trump's name a lot in discussing the 1980s Commission trial. Basically everyone building a skyscraper in NY had to pay a mob-connected concrete company an inflated rate. So Trump was not really a mob friend, but more of a mob victim / cost of doing business.
