Former U.S. Ambassador Ric Grenell allegedly arranged a meeting between then-President Donald Trump and the Turkish billionaire husband of Alina Habba in exchange for a $6 million donation to the Kennedy Center, according to leaked text messages. The funds were reportedly promised but never materialized, raising questions about the nature of the transaction. Investigators are examining whether the donation was part of a broader pattern of influence peddling or political favors. The case adds to ongoing scrutiny of high-profile fundraising and access in the Trump administration.
