These are Trump's 'close contacts': Tom Brady, Serena Williams and more
In the New York trial currently underway against Trump for the 'Stormy Daniels case', prosecutors revealed a list of celebrities who were part of Trump's "close contacts." And, yes, Tom Brady's name was there.
The list includes sports stars, television stars, famous businessmen... The New York Times says that Madeleine Westerhout, Trump's assistant, drew it up and included people with whom he often spoke to (or wanted to talk to) about important issues.
NFL star Tom Brady was one of the names on the list. When he played for the New England Patriots in 2015, a photo circulated in which he wore a red 'Make America Great Again' cap. Brady later clarified that he did not have a close relationship with Trump.
According to The Independent, the former Trump aide stated that Serena Williams and Trump spoke frequently.
The all-powerful owner of FOX and other conservative media could not be missing from that list: Rupert Murdoch.
Of course, on that list of close contacts were FOX stars like Sean Hannity. But there were also TV hosts from other media.
The co-host of the morning show 'Morning Joe' on MSNBC was one of Trump's 'close telephone contacts.'
Veteran goal champion Jack Nicklaus once campaigned for Trump, so it is not strange that his name appeared on this list.
Trump is one of the most parodied characters on 'Saturday Night Live' but, curiously, the creator and producer of the show, Lorne Michaels, had a good relationship with the magnate and president. According to The Hill, an 'SNL' actor reported how Michaels suggested that the crew members be nicer to Trump.
The head of the most famous website specializing in celebrity gossip, Harvey Levin (TMZ), was a friend of Trump. Later he distanced himself from the politician.
The host of 'Squawk Box' on CNBC is also part of the list revealed in the trial.
In total, 54 celebrity names say a lot about Trump's ability to relate to certain types of celebrities. Singers like Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift are not on the list.
