Crime: Trump Paid for Fake Polls

In 2014 and 2015 Trump paid $50,000 for fake polls. In 2014 he was trying to establish himself as a top 100 business leader. In 2015 he was trying to establish himself as a campaign frontrunner. When he was on top, he started most interviews with “did you see my polls?”

Verified 1/17/2019: WSJ first reported this news. This info is reportedly backed up by 2 Trump org emails. And, confirmed by Michael Cohen! Cohen is only contesting that it was done with cash. Cohen says it was a check.

That History Story, 

was first published on TST 7 years ago.

The flashcard inspired by it is this.

All this is part of the broader TST project.
Tidbits are the smallest working units of this project—focused facts, stories, or explanations tied directly to evidence and sources.
Rather than publishing for immediacy, the TouchstoneTruth project releases one edition per week of the TST Weekly Column while allowing ideas to mature long before and long after publication.
