Trump and Roy Cohn were buddies? Creep factor has gone up a notch, or two

Excerpts from Michael D'Antonio's book 'Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success':


Le Club was all about status.

The club's real regulars included Trump, Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner and Roy Cohn who was gathering up high-powered clients and friends who were politicians or celebrities.

Trump and Cohn became fast friends and Cohn became the Trump family lawyer.

Donald described Cohn as 'a total genius' who 'would kill for somebody that he liked' and he liked Trump.

Trump Management Corporation, the family's real estate company, was being sued by the Department of Justice, 'alleging that the company had refused to rent to prospective tenants 'because of race and color'.

Instead of settling the case, the 'Trumps had hired Cohn and signaled their willingness to wage a long fight'.

Cohn filed a $100 million counter suit and accused the Justice Department of using 'Gestapo-like tactics'.

But when current and former Trump workers testified that they were required to report the race of anyone seeking apartments and had been told to discourage black applicants, Cohn negotiated in earnest and Trump had to make a 'public pledge of nondiscrimination'
