17.6 million dollar crisis! Trump’s former lawyer’s Turkish wife is on the US agenda...
Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon entered the spotlight with the 17.6 million dollar money dispute that erupted in President Donald Trump’s inner circle. While it was alleged that former lawyer Alina Habba claimed her husband was deceived by Richard Grenell, the fate of the 5.6 million dollar donation that was to be made to the Kennedy Center also sparked debate.
A multi-million dollar dispute unfolding within President Donald Trump's inner circle has placed Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon at the center of the agenda. Mildon, the wife of former Trump attorney Alina Habba, is alleged to have been included in a money transfer process promising close ties with top figures in the Trump administration.
According to Axios, Habba asserted on October 9 during a meeting with Trump in the White House Oval Office that his wife had been played by Richard Grenell, a top figure in the Trump administration. It was noted that Trump instructed the White House legal counsel to examine the matter.
17.6 Million Dollar Transfer Sparks Controversy
According to allegations, $17.6 million was sent from the Ministry of Finance of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to a Texas-based company. It was claimed that $5.6 million of the said funds was to be donated to the Kennedy Center. However, it was alleged that this amount did not reach the institution.
Messages that emerged as details fueling the controversy reportedly stated that Mildon was offered the chance to meet top figures in the Trump administration, participate in exclusive invitations, and get closer to President Trump in exchange for the money transfer.
Richard Grenell denied the allegations directed at him. It was also reported that Grenell did not accept the claim that he sent the aforementioned message.
Habba's Name Also Appears in a $50 Million Contract
Alina Habba's name surfaced again in another multi‑million‑dollar dispute involving Trump's inner circle. According to a New York Times investigation, Habba entered into a contract with a company linked to the family of Venezuelan billionaire Julio Herrera Velutini that could exceed $50 million over a four‑year period.
Following the contract, Trump's pardon of the Venezuelan banker sparked debate over whether the two events were connected. Habba, however, categorically denied that the contract and the pardon were linked.
The Common Point of Two Separate Debates Was Habba
Alina Habba's name also drew attention in two separate incidents that surfaced in Trump's inner circle. In the first case, a $17.6 million money transfer allegedly involving Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon and a required donation to the Kennedy Center was debated, while in the second, Habba's multi‑million‑dollar contract and Trump's pardon decision came to light.
After the allegations, it was reported that the White House had launched an investigation, and the parties' statements on the accusations and the potential fallout of the incidents are being closely monitored.
