In 2011, days after Donald Trump challenged President Barack Obama to "show his records" to prove that he hadn't been a "terrible student", the headmaster at New York Military Academy got an order from his boss: Find Trump's academic records and help bury them.
At the academy, which modelled its strict code of conduct after the nearby US Military Academy at West Point, Trump loved competing to win contests for cleanest room or best-made bed. Although not known as an academic standout, he was a prominent baseball player and was well-known on campus for bringing women there and showing them around.
Jones said he did not know whether the original request to remove Trump's records from the files came from Cohen. Trump offered to donate $US5 million to charity for Barack Obama's school records at about the same time his were being concealed.In 2011, when the military academy was asked to secure Trump's records, he had not entered politics formally.
Then, according to Pezzullo, when the school's graduates made their pitch, Trump responded by asking, "What do I get for my $US7 million?"
Hilarious!
