The Colombos and The Grim Reaper
Trump connects to the Colombo crime family through at least two reputed members: John Staluppi and John Rosatti, business partners in numerous car dealerships who, in the mid-'80s, contracted with Trump to build a Trump-branded limousinehis first foray into personal branding of a non-real estate product.
Staluppi also operated a company called Dillinger Charter Service, which supplied helicopters to the Trump Organization (along with another colorful convict named Joe Weichselbaum). Staluppi and Rosatti also went into the yacht business, buying custom-built high-speed megayachts for themselves, naming them all after James Bond films and, they claimed, selling them after a couple years for a profit.
This was the original link I traced back from. Maybe its not true but sure cant find much about it.

(6,573 posts)I don't know what cover ups there were, if any, but Cannon's husband worked in Rosatti's business BurgerFi as an upper level manager. Rosatti is a member of the Colombo Crime Family. Rosatti is reported to be friends with Trump and made a campaign contribution. (What's a "Roman attorney"?) I don't like this connection, but it's kind of shadowy. I'll bet that Jack knows about this.
I think that for this to be significant in terms of getting the Judge recused, her husband would have to be a soldier in that Family. They way I understand it, nowadays you have to be White, well-connected or Rich, to get that status. Also, some part Sicilian. So, I can't see that being the case.
