According to Flynt, shortly after their phone conversation Trump sent him a voluminous number of e-mails, phone records, and other evidence of impeachable offenses, after which Flynt wired ten million dollars to Trumps Swiss bank account.
That was a lot easier than I thought it would be, to be honest, Flynt told reporters.
The swift denouement to Trumps tenure in the White House raised more than a few eyebrows in Washington, with some insiders wondering if Trumps eagerness to accept the ten-million-dollar payment indicated that his net worth was considerably smaller than he had professed.
Robert Mueller, the independent counsel investigating Trumps ties to Russia, expressed some sadness that he was not able to bring his probe to a conclusion. I dont know what evidence Trump had against himself, but I guarantee you I had more, he said.
Meanwhile, the success of Flynts cash offer appears to have only emboldened the publisher, who announced that he is now offering twenty million dollars for information leading to the impeachment of Mike Pence.
