A White House investigation is underway into accusations that Top Trump adviser Ric Grenell allegedly offered a Turkish billionaire access to "POTUS," "VIP events," and administration officials in exchange for influence. According to a text message reviewed by Axios, Grenell purportedly promised these benefits in return for a donation to the Kennedy Center. Grenell has vehemently denied the accusations, calling them "lies" and disputing the authenticity of the text message. The White House counsel is examining whether Grenell abused his authority and mishandled a potential multimillion-dollar donation to the Kennedy Center, which he led at the time. The investigation also considers Grenell's role as special envoy to Venezuela, where the Turkish businessman, Turhan Mildon, also had contracts. Mildon, who is married to Trump adviser Alina Habba, alleges that Grenell directed him to wire $17.6 million to a defense company, with a portion intended for the Kennedy Center and the remainder for a Congo deal. Mildon provided the text message and financial documents to support his claims, stating he only later learned the Kennedy Center never received the funds. Complicating matters, the source of the $17.6 million wire to the defense company, Texas Armament & Technology (TXAT), appears to have been the Democratic Republic of Congo's Ministry of Finance, not Mildon's personal account. Habba's account of the donation amount has also shifted, adding to the confusion. Grenell's allies have questioned Mildon's background and the circumstances of his recent wedding to Habba. Despite denials from Grenell, the investigation is ongoing, with officials reportedly seeking to verify the digital footprint of the text message and understand the intricacies of the financial transaction. The extent of Mildon's access to VIP events at the Kennedy Center, even with contested donation figures, raises further questions about the alleged scheme.
