Trouble in Trumplandia On Wednesday, new reporting revealed that President Donald Trump has directed White House lawyers to look into allegations that his former advisor stole funds intended for the Kennedy Center. According to one senior official who spoke with Axios Senior Political Reporter Marc Caputo, the situation has resulted in a full-blown "MAGA blood feud." "Former Trump attorney Alina Habba told the president that another one of his top advisers — former Kennedy Center leader Ric Grenell — failed to deposit a multimillion-dollar donation that her billionaire husband made to the center a year ago, according to four senior administration officials and three insiders briefed on the controversy," writes Caputo. "In the spring of 2025, Grenell persuaded [Habba's husband Turhan] Mildon to include a multimillion-dollar Kennedy Center donation in a lump-sum $17.6 million payment for a business deal." According to sources, the donation itself was nearly $6 million, but Habba says it was never deposited with the Center. While a senior administration official cautions that so far "these are only allegations," Habba's attorneys plan to give the White House documentation — reviewed by Axios — to support her claims.
